Hello.
How are you?
I upgrade my Debian-X86_64 6 to 7.2 and when i want to run pidgin, it show me :
"pidgin: error while loading shared libraries: libgstfarsight-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
How can I solve this problem?
Your error clearly indicates that you're missing that library. Since it's missing and you want to use it, you would INSTALL it, since it may not have been installed after your upgrade. You might also need to upgrade that program, since (if you didn't do a fresh install), it may not have been upgraded, especially if you installed it (or that library), from source.

I can't find this library in my debian repository . I use synaptic and it select the up to date packages for me and I installed Pidgin 2.10.X and I know it is the current version of Pidgin.

Ok, again.....did you INITIALLY install pidgin via source or package?? Did you INITIALLY install that library via source or package? And based on your other thread, did you install 7, or 7.2 as suggested?? Did you do a fresh install or an upgrade?
..which references the gstreamer packages. Also, a very small bit of research also references the packages farstream and farsight2...did you install those?

Yes, I installed "farsight2" package. I installed Pidgin via synaptic and It is recompiled package. My debian is 7.2 and as I said I upgraded my debian 6 to 7.2

Sorry, it's not nice to play guessing games...if you don't want to acknowledge what folks are suggesting and keep giving half-answers, there's not alot folks can help you with.
I mentioned other packages in my previous thread...you don't say anything about them. I asked if it was from source or package...and you say it's from synaptic, but 'recompiled' (???) Which is it?
