Gfire is not installing to pidgin.

I downloaded and untarred the program. I went in and ran the commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make

su- (password)

make install

the make install outputs these errors:

Code:
make install

make gives no errors as i can see (since obviously it lets me do make install) so i don't know what is the problem.

and install locale i think is for people that use different languages?

Hi There!

Hey what I do is take the rpm and make it a slackware compatible and it works!

rpm2txz

Try that!

i converted a fedora rpm to a tgz and it still did not change my pidgin.
maybe it is not installing to the correct directory?

I compiled and installed pidgin-gfire and it showed up as xfire in the "Protocol" drop down box when adding a new account. I haven't tried using it though, so I don't know if it works.

It looks like it installs the required libraries and other files into the correct directories. The libraries get installed to /usr/lib/purple-2/ and the glade files get installed to /usr/share/purple/gfire. Here is my build script if you'd like to check it out.

According to your pastebin the slackbuild failed because the script was trying to do
Code:
cat: /home/kelvin/gfiredir/pidgin-gfire.SlackBuild: No such file or directory
by you have it as "pidgin-gfire.Slackbuild". Notice the lower case 'b' on SlackBuild.

Edit: also if you are using Slackware 13.1 or newer, you don't need to install libnotify. Otherwise, you can just delete the --enable-libnotify line.

alright so the .tgz file was put into my tmp directory and i su - and then i installpkg it, and i still did not find xfire option under the menu for add accounts, and nothing under plugins. should i send an email to the developers? or could it be that i may have to reinstall pidgin all over again?

not all of it i could fit in

It seems like you should have the right system requirements and the build script installed it to the the same locations as in my VM. Reinstalling pidgin may help but I don't know if it will help.
