    Question Installing pidgin

    This is what happens when i simply copy and paste the instructions from the pidgin howto file:

    checking for GTK... no
    no
    configure: error:

    You must have the GTK+ 2.0 development headers installed to compile Pidgin.
    If you only want to build Finch then specify --disable-gtkui when running configure.

    [root@localhost pidgin-2.0.1]# `make'
    >
    > `make check'
    > `make install'
    >
    What is wrong here?

    P.S. this is just the bottom part
    It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

    Well, do you have the GTK development headers installed?

    The package is probably called something like libgtk2.0-dev.

    Thank you, that did the trick.
