trouble building pidgin 2.4.0

[Jeff Smith]

Linux OS is SUSE 10.0 using suse and packman rpm repositories
Installing Pidgin 2.4.0

I thought I finally got requirements to build 2.4.0 with desired 
components. I had a package of gtkspell for SUSE that did not include 
any way to be detected by configure script. I installed that from 
source. It wasn't enabling GStreamer, which packaged version was also 
too old (0.8.11) and not compatible. I got 0.10.17 from another rpm 
repository.

The problem I have now has to do with D-Bus (suse package 
dbus-1-0.35.2-8). Do I need a newer version? It said it was good, but 
`make` has error:
