So, check this please and use another prefix!
Cause: Install a KDE application in a gnome environment.
Solution: Which basically means its going to want to install a lot of KDE specific packages to work. This 'configure: error'
Is due to it expecting you to be running KDE and again refers to some 'headers '.

Compile and install pidgin

1. Download The PidginSource codePack pidgin-2.1.1.tar.bz2 (the latest official version ).
Wget [url] URLs

2. Install the dependencies required for pidgin Compilation:
Sudo apt-Get install libgtk2.0-dev libxml2-dev gettext libnss-dev libnspr-Dev

3. Extract the sourceCodePackage
Tar jxvf pidgin-2.1.1.tar.bz2
D pidgin-2.1.1

4. Compile
./Configure (it is recommended that you use-help to query required parameters)
Make
Sudo make install
If an error occurs in the./configure step

Error 1:
Configure: Error:

You must have the GTK + 2.0 development headers installed to compile pidgin.
If you only want to build Finch then specify-Disable-gtkui when running configure.
Solution:
Sudo apt-Get install libgtk2.0-Dev

Error 2:
Configure: Error:

You must have libxml2> = 2.6.0 development headers installed to build.
Solution:
Sudo apt-Get install libxml2-dev

Error 3:
Configure: Error:

The msgfmt command is required to build libpurple. If it is installed on your system, ensure that it is in your path. If it is not, install GNU gettext to continue.
Solution:
Sudo apt-Get install gettext
If an error occurs when using Gtalk or MSN

Error:
SSL library/libraries ......... : None (MSN and Google Talk will not work

Solution to makefile not found during Ubuntu compilation zdnet software channel updated by: Author: Korn Source: saide.com
Keyword: Ubuntu ProFTP
To compile the environment, we recommend that you install the "build essential" package,

# Sudo apt-Get install "Build-essential"

If you install software using the./configure, make, and makeinstall methods, various errors may often occur, leading to the failure to generate makefile files. Now I want to write down the problems and solutions I encountered during the installation process.

Take pidgin-2.0.0 installation as an Example

#./Configure error:

Configure: Error: C compiler cannot create executables

Follow the error message to install the missing package

# Sudo apt-Get install libc6-dev

Again

#./Configure

Error

Checking for glib... no

No

Configure: Error:

You must have the glib 2.0 development headers installed to build.

Search glib 2.0 with the new token or use the command according to the error message.

# Sudo apt-cache search glib 2.0

Libglib2.0-Dev-development files for the glib library is found.

Select installation;

# Sudo apt-Get install libglib2.0-Dev

The original version is libglib2.0-0-dev, which seems to be incorrect.

#./Configure # an error occurs again

Checking for X... no

Checking for GTK... no

No

Configure: Error:

You must have the GTK + 2.0 development headers installed to compile pidgin.

If you only want to build Finch then specify -- disable-gtkui when running configure.

Use the same method as above to find the missing package and install

Sudo apt-Get install libgtkmm2.0-Dev

./Configure Error

Checking for libxml... no

No

Configure: Error:

You must have libxml2> = 2.6.0 development headers installed to build.

So install

Sudo apt-Get install libxml2-dev

After being installed on the bread, no error occurs in the./configure operation. The MAKEFILE file is successfully generated this time.

Then execute:

# Make

# Make install

The software is successfully installed.

If problems still occur in./configure, find the problem and install the missing package.

In the configuration process, the config. log file is very helpful. We can find the root cause of the error here to find the countermeasures.
