[MacPorts] #13847: pidgin 2.3.1 does not start (old gtk-x11 version)

[Thomas Reifferscheid]

Dear Victor,

please keep mailing to the macports-users mailinglist. I need more 
information here.

Please do:

sudo port -d selfupdate
sudo port -d uninstall pidgin
sudo port -d install pidgin

and show us the relevant lines from the pidgin configure process.

Kind regards
Thomas

>    Thank you for your comment. Do you have any pointers on where I should continue my investigation, since you've shown that it's not a problem with the Pidgin port /per se/? It's very interesting to note that on my box *libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib* is symlinked to *libgtk-x11-2.0.0.1200.2.dylib*, even though it's somehow being reported to Pidgin as 1001.0.0 -- any idea how this could be? Again, any help or advice you can offer is most appreciated.  :-)
