Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Debian- Installing Pidgin

**wmorri** · 07-14-2008, 12:48 PM

Have you tried to do this in terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get install pidgin

See if that works, becuase it sounds like you are trying to configure a .tar.gz or .tgz file. make sure that you do the whole thing, after you cd to the folder that you want to install it in:

Code:

./configure
make
make install

Cheers!
