oi

Get this in the terminal, help!

SHLIB? libmsn-pecan.so /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpurple collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: [libmsn-pecan.so] Error 1

I have libpurple-dev and Pidgin 2.4.2 installed.

Are you sure? Try running dpkg -L libpurple-dev to see if libpurple is really there.

Fixed it, I uninstalled Pidgin 2.4.2 and installed Pidgin 2.4.1, looks like this plugin was incompatible with it.

wyattmeister: I think your 2.4.2 dev package is broken. I'm using it with 2.4.2 just fine.

I compile the source without errors. I start pidgin, Add acount, but there is not WLM option at protocol list. I use pidgin 2.4.2 ¿?

moisesbelda: did you install?

i get this in terminal after i unpack the tarball and try to enter the make command

CC? error.o Package purple was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `purple.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'purple' found error.c:31:21: warning: account.h: No such file or directory error.c: In function ‘msn_error_handle’: error.c:248: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘purple_notify_error’ error.c:248: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type error.c: At top level: error.c:249: fatal error: opening dependency file ./.error.o.d: Permission denied compilation terminated. make: [error.o] Error 1

anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks ekz999, your ebuild works on x86 too. Just one small remark: you can omit the src_compile() function because the default one is sufficient.

Both the msn-pecan plugin and the ebuild seem to work with Pidgin 2.4.3.

Felipe, thanks a lot! :-) You just gave me a reason to hang on to Pidgin a little longer before swithing to Kopete.

Thanks ekz999 and cygeus, I've updated the page with your comments.

Works perfectly from source on openSUSE 11.0 - thank you very much!

Cheers, works great! I'm glad you forked, I was getting sick of the Pidgin devs about the MSN protocol long before they renamed the project from gaim to pidgin.

Don't work on my pc. The error given is " Parse Error ". (I use http connection and I'm under a proxyfied connection)

assimo85: please fill a bug report. I think this is already fixed and will be available in 0.0.15.

How to use in Fedora?:(

Cool, hope it support offline message soon
