[gentoo-user] Next adventure: Pidgin

[Meino.Cramer]

Hi,

on the way to a hopefully working im-client with otr/encryption I next
checked pidgin

I set the use flags like this

     Installed versions:  2.10.11(18:48:35 04/19/16)(dbus doc gnutls
     gstreamer gtk ncurses nls perl python sasl tk xscreensaver -aqua

The compilation runs fine resulting in a pidgin executable which does
simply nothing.
Called from the commandline the cursor jumps from behind 'pidgin' into
next line on pressing <RETURN>.
Nothing else happens.

What I am doing wrong here?

Ok, one additional finding:

sudo pidgin displays a starting dialog (account setup).
I did not proceed to not to "pollute" the installation
with root permissions.

I checked the implemented groups but found nothing 
appropiate to add my uid to.

Remains the one question: How can I fix it?

Best regards,
Meino

This won't help you much but here it works as expected: if I remove the 
config firectory (~/.purple) and issue 'pidgin' from the command line a 
GUI wizard shows up.

[I] net-im/pidgin
      Installed versions:  2.10.12-r2(03:26:26 PM 03/22/2016)(dbus 
gnutls gtk ncurses nls spell xscreensaver -aqua -debug -doc -eds -gadu 
-groupwise -gstreamer -idn -meanwhile -mxit -networkmanager -perl -pie 
-prediction -python -sasl -silc -tcl -tk -zephyr -zeroconf 
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7 -python3_3 -python3_4" 
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4 -python3_3")

'pidgin -d' will print some debugging info, maybe you'll get something 
out of it.

Hi raffaele,

Thank you very much again!
