Dear Victor, please keep mailing to the macports-users mailinglist. I need more information here. Please do: sudo port -d selfupdate sudo port -d uninstall pidgin sudo port -d install pidgin and show us the relevant lines from the pidgin configure process. Kind regards Thomas Victor Escobar wrote:

Original error:

Do you have any pointers on where I should continue my investigation, since you've shown that it's not a problem with the Pidgin port /per se/? It's very interesting to note that on my box *libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib* is symlinked to *libgtk-x11-2.0.0.1200.2.dylib*, even though it's somehow being reported to Pidgin as 1001.0.0 -- any idea how this could be? Again, any help or advice you can offer is most appreciated. :-)
