in thread Purple/Pidgin perl plugin load error

I built it directly from the source. My configure line was ./configure --with-gnu-ld. It installed into /usr/local/bin/pidgin and /usr/local/lib/pidgin.

Update: I downloaded Purple from CPAN.

Note: The glib and gtk rpms that came with the distribution had some problems, so I downloaded and installed glib2, gtk+ and all the dependencies from source and ran ldconfig on all of them.

    Late reply, but I think it's worth mentioning to avoid more confusion.

    The Purple (and Purple::Client and Purple::Server) modules on CPAN are completely unrelated to the Purple module that comes with libpurple.

    The Purple on CPAN probably existed before the one I'm looking for, and there wasn't any name conflict until libgaim got renamed to libpurple.
