pidgin_NLS-2.7.9-i486-dpup009.pet has locales for different languages. Different languages support takes more space than working app, so it is recommended to offer it as independent .pet.

I tried Pidgin 2.7.9 in Lighthouse but couldn't get it to work so far.

I'm currently running wary 5 and Pidgin 2.7.5 because I can't get .9 or .10 to work. It installs properly but nothing happens when I try to run it from Menu > Internet.
I've made certain to get rid of 2.7.5 before trying a different version but no luck. Any advice for a new Puppy user?

Some one should think about updating this to version 2.9.11 following Dejans guide book :P

You mean 2.7.11, right? :D

(I'll get around to compiling my own version of Pidgin someday, dejan. Honest! :oops: )

Aside from the obvious (such as changing the references to 2.7.10 to 2.7.11, and commenting out the mkpkg line), are there any other changes I'd need to make to the script in the first post to have it work with Puppy 4.3.1?

...then again, maybe I could try compiling packages for the other 4.3.1 users... :)

Not sure Makoto, for 4.x I had to compile gnutls too, but as you already have them on system you might not need to do that again. You can try, if it throws error tell me what it was.

Okay, I'll try it as soon as I can get a chance. I take it I have to uninstall Pidgin, first, just to be on the safe side? (This time, not sure if I would have to do it if I build each new version... I'm using the v2.7.7 you built for 4.3.1, so there's a possibility of older files, if I don't uninstall, I guess.)

I think you can just install over that.

Okay. I'm just paranoid-- er, concerned, (:P) because I see support requests on the Pidgin mailing lists every once in a long while, where someone on a Linux setup is having problems because some part of their components is old/mismatched. I know that shouldn't happen as I'd basically be recompiling and reinstalling everything, but I am usually paranoid... er, concerned. Yeah. :)

(Does any version of phpBB support strikeout, or is that for some other forum software? Bleah. Ruins the joke when you can't strikeout the word 'paranoid.' :D I suppose I could do the old ^H joke, but I don't really want to do that. :roll: )

(...edit #2, because I just noticed WHAT number this post of mine is... :shock: (well, until I make another post, or Flash removes my spam report...))
