OK; I would expect that. > $ nm pidgin-otr.so | egrep ' U (pidgin|purple)' > > shows 54 such functions. So however those functions get resolved, > gtk_imhtml_append_text_with_image should be the same. I also see 54 functions, on NetBSD, plus gtk_imhtml_append_text_with_image. But /usr/pkg/bin/pidgin has no symbols. This in and of itself does not seem strange, but I am quite boggled as to how the symbols are resolved (which on NetBSD, obviously they are - everything works fine). I'm guessing you are using Linux; does the pidgin binary have symbols (for the U ones in pidgin-otr.so)? > Now it could be that some more recent version of pidgin has removed that > function.

I don't think that's the case; the sources that I am building from on the mac are the same as on NetBSD, and I can see the function. >> how are symbols in gtk resolved in the plugin if the plugin does not >> link against gtk?

So that part will probably be ok; my problem may be only how the dynamically loaded plugin resolves against pidgin's symbols. >> How can pidgin-otr work with the text-mode libpurple client?
