You need to run 'ldconfig' as root.  'sudo ldconfig' is sufficient if sudo is
installed and properly configured on your system.

The fact that you have disabled GNUTLS and NSS means that Google Talk, Novell
Groupwise, and MSN will not function.  If you want one of those three services
to work, you will need to rebuild Pidgin after installing the appropriate
development packages on your system.
