Hi Hiisi,
after downloading the pidgin-2.5.5 source from sourceforge.net and after
installing a lot of devel packages:
meanwhile-devel
gtkspell-devel
gstreamer-devel
NetworkManager-devel
tcl-devel
tk-devel
I was able to build with "./configure --disable-avahi" (weird: the
avahi-devel pkg was already installed).
Compiling and installing was successful, and after I had re-enabled my
account, pidgin-2.5.5 now runs successfully.
