Hello!

Given: OpenSUSE 13.2 x86_64, XFCE 4.10. Pidgin version in repos is
out-dated (2.10.10-5.4.1), so I tried to install it manual from sources
downloaded from https://www.pidgin.im/download/source/.

So, wget && tar && cd ./pidgin && ./configure. But ./configure fails with
=====
configure: error:

You must have GLib 2.16.0 or newer development headers installed to build.

If you have these installed already you may need to install pkg-config so
I can find them.

=====

sudo zypper se -s pkg-config command shows that pkg-config 0.28-7.1.2
x86_64 is installed.

Pidgin's config.log shows:

1.
=====
configure:12494: checking for pkg-config
configure:12512: found /usr/bin/pkg-config
configure:12524: result: /usr/bin/pkg-config
