installing pidgin plugin....

[kevdog]

Did you compile pidgin from source or are you just trying to compile the plugin only? By your error message, it states something about missing gtk-2.0 which implies you are missing some dependency libraries. Im just wondering if you re-consult this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975783

and install the name dependencies mentioned at the top of the thread, if this error disappears?
