 Hello, i recently built Pidgin 2.9.0 and its plugin from source on a
 Ubuntu 11.04 x64 machine previously running Pidgin 2.7.2 taken from
 Ubuntu's repos.

 Everything works except some plugins (i.e: history, message
 notification...) doesn't works because they states:

 {{{
 Error: ABI version mismatch 2.9.x (need 2.7.x)
 Check the plugin website for an update.
 }}}

 I tried to modify plugin sources in order to force 2.7.x version,
 modifying:

 {{{
 static PurplePluginInfo info =
 {
         PURPLE_PLUGIN_MAGIC,
         PURPLE_MAJOR_VERSION,
         PURPLE_MINOR_VERSION,
         PURPLE_PLUGIN_STANDARD,
 [..]
 }}}

 into:

 {{{
 static PurplePluginInfo info =
 {
         PURPLE_PLUGIN_MAGIC,
         PURPLE_MAJOR_VERSION,
         7,
         PURPLE_PLUGIN_STANDARD,
 [..]
 }}}

 ... and the plugin runs fine!

 Don't know if this issue is related to the previous installation of Pidgin
 2.7.2 but notice that before installing 2.9.0 previous version was
 removed.

 Regards
 Luca
