Comment (by tap52384):

 I appreciate all the help concerning this issue; I would like specific
 instructions as to how to view and/or change $PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT (i believe
 it is your home directory by default, but I wanted to change it to
 c:\development but didn't know how).

 Additionally, was my picture concerning chmod 755 correct?  I thought it
 was but I would like your expert opinion...are we supposed to chmod 755
 all extracted files, or just those for Mozilla NSS?  Is chmod necessary in
 Windows?

 Finally, is there a page that specifically talks about how to compile a
 plugin?  I figured that you would have to compile pidgin in order to
 compile a plugin, or is that an unnecessary process?
