Building Pidgin from source, problem regarding XML parser
I wont provide all the feedback from the command line, though this seems to be what's causing my problem
Code:
checking for XML::Parser... configure error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool I could just guess, though I don't want to install a package I don't need. Sorry if that's too vague, let me know if I should explain anything in more detail. Thanks Edit: BTW I'm installing on Fluxbuntu and this is the first time I've really attempted to install anything from source. I'm basically at the stage where I have type in ./configure. Just in the process of doing a search so I'm not expecting to be completely spoon fed the answer :) |
You need to install a package called perl-XML-Parser using your distros package manager.

Thanks.
That problem has been solved, though I have another regarding libxml2 development headers .... I'll see if I can work it out ... - Update - Configuration successful .... but Code:
Pidgin will now be installed in /usr/local/bin. -update 2- Now in the process of building. Seems to take a long time 0_0 - Success! - My first program installed from source =D Not sur if I can convince all my friends to stop using MSN though (I've tried beleive me) so I need to install a supported SSL library ... but which one? Looking through synaptic I got a couple of hundred results. I need to look for something along the lines of a IMAP SSL library don't I? |
Well I still haven't solved my problem.
I have the gnutls runtime library installed, though Pidgin still throws the same message at me regarding SSL support. http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?i...dginsslyz9.png BTW I still have GAIM installed which doesn't seem to be having the same problem. Perhaps I should start a new thread as this has gone somewhat off topic ... |
Install gnutls-dev as I mentioned in the other thread that you responded to.

Thanks for your reply :]
I read it and have since managed to successfully rebuild and it works fine now. Thanks again for your help. |
