Comment (by djberriman):

 Workaround for this issue.

 Ensure you have nspr-devel and nss-devel installed (on fedora at least).

 Configure pidgin without gnutls (--enable-gnutls=no), check the output of
 the configure command to confirm the SSL library is just Mozilla NSS

 Make and install pigdin

 Finally ensure you remove the gnutls libraries otherwise they will still
 be used by pidgin/libpurple

 rm  /usr/lib/purple-2/ssl-gnu*

 Everything should now work as long as your account isn't locked out from
 login failures.
