I'm not sure if you installed them like I told you. You should have
/usr/local/lib/pidgin/talkfilters.la
/usr/local/lib/pidgin/talkfilters.so
Something tells me they were not compiled and installed with the rest of the plugins.

I like pidgin's style, but I'm waiting it to get a Plus! like plugin.
Any news about it, or its dead?
The fact is that most of my contacts have those strange coloured nicks that look ugly without the plugin :S
Can you inform me about the plugin you are referring to specifically and I'll investigate it?
Anyone get this to compile on 64bit?
I keep getting this:
Code:checking for X11... yes checking for XScreenSaverRegister in -lXext... no checking for XScreenSaverRegister in -lXss... no configure: error: XScreenSaver extension development headers not found. Use --disable-screensaver if you do not need XScreenSaver extension support, this is required for detecting idle time by mouse and keyboard usage.

It's funny to think how underdeveloped the world is, really makes it easier for a developer to get ahead.

Thanks kevdog
After that was fixed got this:
Fixed with libstartup-notification0-devCode:checking for STARTUP_NOTIFICATION... no no configure: error: Startup notification development headers not found. Use --disable-startup-notification if you do not need it.
Then got this:
edit: fixed with libmeanwhile-devCode:checking for MEANWHILE... no configure: error: Meanwhile development headers not found. Use --disable-meanwhile if you do not need meanwhile (Sametime) support.
Now stuck on:
fixed with libavahi-client-dev and libavahi-compat-libdnssd-devCode:checking for MEANWHILE... yes checking for AVAHI... no checking avahi-client/client.h usability... no checking avahi-client/client.h presence... no checking for avahi-client/client.h... no checking avahi-glib/glib-malloc.h usability... no checking avahi-glib/glib-malloc.h presence... no checking for avahi-glib/glib-malloc.h... no checking for avahi_client_new in -lavahi-client... no configure: error: avahi development headers not found. Use --disable-avahi if you do not need avahi (Bonjour) support.

Just a few questions and I can add info to the original post
I know you are installing on 64 bit Ubuntu
Did you do the following:
sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin
If you did, are you telling me you had to install additional libraries as listed above to compile on the 64 bit platform?
After installation using checkinstall... The update daemon instantly turns on to notify a "new" version of pidgin is available, which is "1:2.4.1-ubuntu2.2". I think this is something about the version number.
I suggest to run this command instead:
Also, Bot Sentry cannot autogen itself. Here is the error encountered:sudo checkinstall -D --fstrans=no --install=yes --pkgname=pidgin --pkgversion=1:2.5.4~checkinstall
I wonder what are they...$ ./autogen.sh
configure.ac:47: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:48: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL
configure.ac:49: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

I would recommend installing outside the apt system with a simple sudo make install rather than a checkinstall. checkinstall although it has theoretical advantages, is really a pain to work with on a practical basis. If you are persistent however in using the apt system, I believe you can put updates on hold like sudo aptitude hold pidgin.
As far as the bot sentry ./autogen.sh problem -- let me take a look at it. I have bot sentry installed, however have not looked at the package in quite a while and don't know if a recent upgrade broke something.
I read about an oppurtunity to compile pidgin from source with video and voice support, so I wanted to try. This is how I proceed:
Installed packages from http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian (added to the sources)Code:sudo apt-get install build-essential dh-make sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
in order to fetch the last revision of pidgin:Code:sudo apt-get install libgstfarsight0.10-0 libgstfarsight0.10-dev gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight
then:Code:apt-get install monotone monotone-viz
I got an error message so:Code:DATABASE=/home/user/monotone_databases/pidgin.mtn WORKINGDIR=/home/user/code/pidgin-mtn cd $(dirname $DATABASE) wget http://developer.pidgin.im/static/pidgin.mtn.bz2 bzip2 -d pidgin.mtn.bz2 mtn -d $DATABASE pull --set-default mtn.pidgin.im "im.pidgin.*"
then again:Code:mtn -d $DATABASE db migrate
During configure with autogen I got messages about several missing dependencies, to install them:Code:mtn -d $DATABASE pull --set-default mtn.pidgin.im "im.pidgin.*" mtn -d $DATABASE co -b im.pidgin.pidgin.vv $WORKINGDIR
What I couldn't frind: d-bus and tk development headers so I disabled:Code:sudo apt-get install autogen libtool intltool libgtk2.0-dev libgtkspell-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libmeanwhile-dev libavahi-glib-dev libdbus-1-dev libperl-dev libssl-dev libgnutls-dev tcl8.5-dev libdbus-1-dev tk8.5-dev libxss-dev
Code:sudo sh ./autogen.sh --disable-dbus --disable-tk
Warning during configuring:
Code:Please add the files codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4 progtest.m4 from the /aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory or directly to your aclocal.m4 file. You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.
Error when "sudo make":
Any suggestion to avoid this?Code:gtkmain.c:314: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pidgin_medias_init’ make[3]: *** [gtkmain.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/tom/code/pidgin-mtn/pidgin' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tom/code/pidgin-mtn/pidgin' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tom/code/pidgin-mtn' make: *** [all] Error 2
