There's a lot of stuff on the web about this. I don't understand why you're getting that specific error, but it appears to be a missing library on the link line. This likely means that the Pidgin configure scripts aren't finding something that they probably don't know to look for; I'm not sure exactly how this is happening. Finch is a terminal-based IM client. If you don't want it, you can configure with --disable-consoleui and it will not build. This will likely fix your problem.
