I would expect in this scenario that you did not compile the old version and
instead installed it from a package.  This is where the problem comes in--in
order to *build* Pidgin with the necessary SSL support, you have to have the
development package installed for either GNUTLS or Mozilla NSS.  You can, of
course, specify where the headers and such are when running configure, but they
have to exist on the system.
