There are many possible reasons that could happen. Pidgin might not be installed correctly, it might not be in your path, it might not have all dependencies, it might be crashing instantly, etc. You should try running "pidgin -d" from a terminal window. That should give you a little info to work from. If the output from that isn't helpful to you feel free to paste it here and we can try to give you some suggestions. -Mark _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
