Pidgin automatically shuts down when program starts

[Matthew Bonanno]

Every time I log on to Pidgin, it automatically shuts down.  I can see my
friend list and who's online for a quick second, but instantly get and error
and am forced to quit.

Attached is the report...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
