 If you're not able to figure this out on your own already, see the notes below on compiling from source.
 
+=== Mandrake ===
+
 === Mandriva ===
-
-=== Mandrake ===
 
 === Red Hat Linux 9 and earlier ===
 Please join this century and upgrade to a newer distribution, such as the current release of Fedora Core.
+
+=== Slackware 9.1, 10, and 10.1 ===
+There are sometimes third-party packages for these Slackware distributions [http://linuxpackages.net here].
+
+If you would like to build Pidgin from source, and have Mozilla installed, you can try the following.  Note that if Mozilla 1.4 is not your installed version, you will need to replace that with the correct version number.  Also, at some point, Mozilla 1.7.5 was removed from Slackware-Current and replaced with Mozilla Firefox.  This will probably change the exact location for the paths listed.
+{{{
+~/pidgin$ ./configure --with-nss-includes=/usr/include/mozilla-1.4/nss \
+> --with-nspr-includes=/usr/include/mozilla-1.4/nspr \
+> --with-nss-libs=/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 \
+> --with-nspr-libs=/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4
+}}}
+
+Also, you'll need to add `/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4` (again replacing versions as appropriate) to `/etc/ld.so.conf` and run `ldconfig` as root.
+
+Firefox also includes the necessary libraries, so if you have a binary package of Pidgin that was built with SSL support you may be able to add `/usr/lib/firefox` to `/etc/ld.so.conf` and run `ldconfig` as root.
+
+=== SuSE 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3 ===
+Third-party RPMs for these SuSE distributions are often available [http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=Network%2Fgaim/ here].  These RPMs use GNUTLS for SSL support, but GNUTLS is not provided in SuSE 8.2 or 9.0.  Users of these distributions will need to also install GNUTLS, OpenCDK, and libtasn1 from the same site.  SuSE 9.1 and later provide GNUTLS, and SuSE's provided GNUTLS should be used on these distributions.
+
+If you wish to use Mozilla NSS with Pidgin, you will need to compile from source using [http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=%2FLibraries%2Fmozilla-nss/ these NSS packages] from the same site as the Pidgin RPMs.
