Re: Ongoing support for Yahoo protocol?

Hi Eion, Thanks, the hangouts plugin worked. I had a bit of trouble with the auth, because the dialog from Pidgin took me to a page Google said I didn't have access to. But it did eventually work - I think I needed to be signed into my Google account in the browser first. Thanks again,

Re: 64w Version of Yahoo Protocol Needed

Hi there, You're best to contact the author of the plugin (me) since Pidgin doesn't support 3rd party plugins. That said, there's no Mint/Ubuntu/Debian package so you'll need to compile it yourself: sudo apt-get install libpurple-dev libjson-glib-dev libglib2.0-dev git make; git clone
