bash-3.2$ ls /usr/include/panel.h /usr/include/panel.h bash-3.2$ ls /usr/lib/libpanel* /usr/lib/libpanel.a /usr/lib/libpanel.so.3.0 /usr/lib/libpanel_p.a /usr/lib/libpanel_pic.a bash-3.2$ Turns out libpanel is installed, just the configure script won't recognize it. update_panels is referred to in panel.h too. Yet another frustrating Pidgin configure script bug. argh Thanks for helping with the first half of the solution misc.
