There's no pidgin rpm for Fedora on sourceforge.net. And don't you dare 
to say you installed it from source? I don't want to be scare, but 
you're in a real world of trouble from now. It's not a recommended way 
of installing software, you know.
What for myself - it's only my girlfriend who needs Pidgin for ICQ 
messaging. I'll be wait for updates while using Kopete.
