    6262If you got the source tree from our Monotone database ([wiki:"Installing Pidgin#WhydoyoualwayssaynottouseMTN" which you probably shouldn't have]), you'll need to run `./autogen.sh` instead of `./configure` the first time around.

    6567You're probably missing some dependencies.  The configure script will tell you when you are missing required dependencies.  Remember that if you're using an RPM-based (!RedHat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, SUSE, Mandriva, etc.)  or Debian-based system (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.) that having just a library's package installed is not sufficient--you must also have the -devel (RPM systems) or -dev (Debian-based systems) package for each library installed.  If configure is succeeding, but make fails, this is harder to diagnose and you will probably want to drop by the IRC channel or XMPP conference listed on PidginCommunity to get help.
