I've prepared Windows, Debian (and thus, Ubuntu) and Redhat (Fedora, CentOS, etc.) binary packages.

I don't seem to see a link to a faq or install guide either.... a little bit of help for those of us who aren't quite so well versed with linux would be nice.

I'm using Ubuntu Ibex (8.10) 64-bit, so I can't install the .deb package. Downloaded the tar.gz, unpacked it, looked for \configure\, and it's not there. Ran 'make' and got the following error: ... patch -p0 < pidgin-convcharcount-plugin-patch.txt patching file pidgin-2.3.1/pidgin/plugins/Makefile.am patching file pidgin-2.3.1/pidgin/plugins/Makefile.mingw patching file pidgin-2.3.1/pidgin/plugins/convcharcount.c touch patched-stamp cd pidgin-2.3.1 && automake pidgin/plugins/Makefile configure.ac:69: version mismatch.
