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.

Regards
