[Nix-dev] Pidgin plugins.

[Marc Weber]

Hi David,

I think I made some symlinks

Run pidgin usig strace once and look for file accesses in ~/.pidgin or
~/.purple or such

This reveals:

4011  open("/home/marc/.purple/plugins", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
4011  open("/home/marc/.purple/plugins", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

So try symlinking those .so to that location or such.

But you're right:we should document it - maybe adding a comment to the
pidgin derivation.

Of course pidgin could be patched as well.

Write a again if this doesn't fix it for you.

HTH
