If you still have libpurple 2.4.x installed on your system, and it's in /usr/lib rather than /usr/local/lib, it may be getting picked up ahead of your new libpurple. Generally speaking, Pidgin always requires the most recent minor version of libpurple (so 2.5.0 or higher). For best results, you should use the same version of both, since they are developed and tested together. Try removing all libpurple and pidgin related packages from your package manager, run ldconfig and see if that helps. Kevin
