Did you install from source or binary?

Did you compile without SSL support?

Since it's from source, did you compile it with the SSL option. Normally you'd have to add an option like --with-openssl when you run ./configure. Alternatively, I'm sure fedora has an RPM available.

is there any shell script or anything else which will delete

Yeah it should be as long as you use the same prefix. Try running "make uninstall" in the configured source directory from your original installation and that should remove everything cleanly.

hi nylex

i find the faq page lengthy to digest..
so i want to install it usig the yum repositroy that is given by them...
Please tell me how to install from only pidgin.repo by disabling other repos..?

which packages do in need to install along with pidgin..?

i mean devel pakages are necessary?

Unfortunately, I don't use Fedora so I don't know about its repositories. As far as I know though, yum should take care of dependencies for you meaning you don't have to worry about them.
