Comment(by babydr):

 The configure line I used is :

 ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
 --disable-gtkspell --disable-gstreamer --disable-meanwhile --disable-avahi
 --disable-nm --disable-vv

 Which is the one that my distribution used to make the original 2.5.*
 versions .

 After running 'make install' as root I did a 'ldconfig' then as user did
 ...

 $ /usr/bin/pidgin -d
