 You'll need these packages from the Fedora package repositories, instead of the ones listed above:

 You have to use FC9+ because otherwise the gstreamer base package is too old to support the farsight2 package above, and rebuilding it is impractical because things like mplayer, totem and all other multimedia stuff might be killed by that.
 
-Because the Pidgin configure script additions for FARSIGHT/GSTREAMER only look at files available to the 
-"pkg-config" command, and don't use the normal library search pattern to find them, you need to make sure that the following fix is applied (or similar for future farsight2 versions?):
+Because the Pidgin configure script only looks at files available to the 
+"pkg-config" command, and gnutls causes crashes, you need to use the following configure incantation:
 
-ln -s /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/farsight2-0.10.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/farsight2-0.10.pc
-
-That gets ./configure to recognise both GSTREAMER and FARSIGHT as per above.

-So configure with:
-
-./configure --enable-gnutls=no 
+PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ ./configure --enable-gnutls=no
 
 And then "make && make install" as normal.
 
-[ Possibly "PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ ./configure --enable-gnutls=no" will work? ]
+This gets you far enough to have a 'media' preference in the Pidgin menus, with a working 'Preview', but I need to test further.
