If you run again and an error about GTK2.0+ development headers, you may need to install some extra stuff. Billb had posted a fix elsewhere:
Try yum install SDL-devel expat-devel zlib-devel libGL-devel gtk2-devel GConf2-devel
And re-run.
this next paragraph isn't really needed just a recount of me trying to configure pidgin-2.5.8 after this new light has been shed, it is quite fun though if you ask me.
So I just saw this post a little earlier today and decided to give it a shot for kicks and giggles. Why not right? It was intense to say the least, also a good learning experience. so yum install intltool and then I don't have gstreamer development tools. yum install gstreamer-devel. Next up is ... bare with me for a sec ... Meanwhile devel support, yum install meanwhile-devel "nothing to do". crap... well lets see what happens if I ./configure --disable-meanwhile. Not quite avahi devel tools missing (it said for Bonjour). So "yum install avahi-devel" awesome "nothing to do" ... "./configure --disable-meanwhile --disable-avahi ... Now I am lacking NetworkManager devel tools. yum install NetworkManager-devel "nothing to do" ... well now I might be in trouble, lets go ahead and do it "./configure --disable-meanwhile --disable-avahi --disable-nm" ... nope now I need Tcl devel tools. "yum install tcl-devel" shibby "nothing to do"
"man it's over you win pidgin. just wait I will have a round 30 whether you like it or not!!!" lol good times that was.
but this brings me to a question about yum. Does it matter where you run it from? i.e I was getting sick of cd ../.. cd pidgin-im/pidgin-2.5.8 so I started just running yum install from [root@localhost pidgin-2.5.8]. Would that affect the results of the yum command? Maybe perhaps where it is installing the software or not being able to run properly?
