Normally while updating an application in GNU/Linux, we download the source and compile and install it. Sometimes we find it hard to install when there are many dependencies.

Consider an example of installing Pidgin and IM, the latest version is 2.6.1, if we start compiling from source we come across few dependencies.

In normal procedure we would have to find the dependencies manually and install them with APT or aptitude.

Long awaited in the list, voice support for pidgin for GNU/Linux is out, most of them were on Skype all these days for Voice and Video, not any more i feel, with this advancement it's nice to hear and talk also.

Howto install from source:

For Ubuntu user, you may just setup from PPA :

To setup the PPA, copy-and-paste these commands into a terminal:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \ 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8
echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \ `lsb_release --short --codename` main | \
