 You can.  It has been done with GCC 4.1.1 on HP-UX 11.11, however, there is no official support.  The configure scripts that ship with the official releases are unfortunately incompatible with the linker on this system, but by checking the tag out of version control and running autogen.sh you will end up with a usable build tree.  Make sure to configure without the GTK+ and GLib tests, as well as without the X screensaver extension.  No source hacks are needed.
 
 === Can I run Pidgin on Mac OS X? ===
-Yes you can, but we do not provide a package for it. The reason being that in order to use Pidgin on Mac OS X, you need to install an X server and GTK+, which we are not prepared to support. You can either compile Pidgin (and its dependencies) yourself, or you can use the fink installer available from http://fink.sf.net. If you would like a native aqua interface or a user-friendly installer, we suggest trying Adium, available at https://adium.im/.

 === Where do I get `libgtkspell.so.0`? ===
 Most people asking this are trying to install our RPMs by hand on their system.  `libgtkspell.so.0` is provided by the gtkspell package.  Most modern RPM-based distros have tools such as yum that can install this for you automatically; alternatively you can find a generic SRPM suitable for rebuilding with rpmbuild on [http://gtkspell.sourceforge.net/ GTKSpell's site].
