Hi guys this is a no frills version of pidgin, basically its the same as the default one in the puppy repo but updated. I also have a additional locales pet Smile

Please don't complain if extra or other features don't work because this version is just made to work without any additional libs. Just the basic pidgin.

Hello,

Excellent program pidgin by the way!

I have pidign 2.5.1 running on Puppy 4.1.1 here but msn stopped working now strangely.

Something about the addressbook - Tuuxx can you not make a new .pet of Pidgin 2.5.3 + SSL support ?

Thanks alot,

Best regards,
Johan

I would divisionmd but I'm too involved it 4.12 to focus on such a task. After I'm finished with 2.12 browser problems then I could find the time, sorry for now, But the pidgin you want does take a lot of time to build. Until then use the older version which works, if you want Smile

Hello Ttuuxxx,

Heard a rumour that msn dont work right now is because of some server problem at Microsoft.

So why pidgin does not work with msn right now is because of that - not that i have an older version.

But anyway using a later version is almost always nicer.
Very Happy

Best regards,
Johan

I've pidgin 2.4.1 version and it always worked great with msn. Do you know if there are any difference between 2.4.1 and 2.5.3? I use it only for msn.

That is the one I got. Here's the pidgin debug window: (Shortened to just the plugin listings:

did you have a previous version of Pidgin installed?
If so you need to remove it, all those errors, don't show up on my pc, when I run pidgin from the command line and log into msn, I get no errors at all.
