Pidgin Error on Opening MSN

Dark Star · 10-12-2007, 04:11 PM

I compiled my Pidgin to 3.31 I donno what was that everything was fine but I uninstalled the older pdgin from Synaptic cause after compiling it was not upgraded

Now whenever I try to open MSN accounts I get this error. . SSL suppport is needed please install SSL Support also 1 for Gmail TSL is not installed .. I guess I did worng I updated again from apt but same error. How can I overcome this

Even I faced the same problem. It never got fixed. I moved over to Mint Celena 3.1 and Pidgin is working fine. But, there is still one problem. In case I log in using 2 of my gmail accounts, Pidgin crashes. Need to file a bug report.

^go to the compile directory(if it is there!),then try "make clean",then going from first itself "./configure,make,sudo make install" .I think synaptic removed common components of ur compiled pidgin too!

so try as above.u have all the dependencies installed afaik(last thread

)

after this we'll see.post whether it works or not.

Bump.. Also how can I install extra packages and Desktop Manager from Digit DVD with Ubuntu Gutsy

praka123 · 12-12-2007, 09:06 AM

I suggest u just click in synaptic above dependencies for reinstallation.dont install "suggests,recommended etc".also run a "sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove --purge" <this will help gaining some space and clean unwanted packages

reg digit ubuntu dvd:
add digit dvd to ur sources via synaptic(repos>new>add dvd) or from terminal "apt-cdrom"
