The only way to make it work is to satisfy the dependencies. Install them. You can grab them from the repos, or download them from the RHN and install them manually |

Welcome to LQ.
' pidgin-2.6.5-0.el5 ' is from sourceforge ?
The RH version is pidgin-2.6.5-1.el5.

If you've got RHEL, get registered on RHN and use the repos.
If you don't want to pay for that, use the (free) Centos equivalent.
