I do not know where you might be able to find a .deb of 1.5.x but
you might
be able to get away with running alien on the .rpm package that
RedHat has
of 1.5.x.
Alternately, the sources are in monotone in the
im.pidgin.gaim.gtk1-stable
branch.
I think Luke meant the "im.pidgin.gaim" branch, but easier than that
you can download the "Pidgin 1.5.1" tarball from sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/Pidgin/1.5.1/pidgin-1.5.1.tar.bz2/download
.
You are correct, I guess I just thought that if the differences in UI
are to be all that severe, you'd have to go back much further.

otherwise.
But I am unable to work comfortably with Pidgin.
I recently transitioned my computer from Windows to Linux, but am
transitioning myself by installing my same version of Windows in a
Virtual
Machine. As I cannot use Pidgin because the interface is too
different
(just know that I am disabled, and there is significant difficulty
attempting to adjust, so much so that I cannot), I am relegated to
keeping
my VM open and on the desktop at all times so that I can
socialize. But I
don't want to operate soley in Windows.
The only solution is for me to acquire a copy of GAIM 1.5, or even
1.3.1
which I currently use, for Linux, preferably a .deb package. If
anyone has
access to the source code and can build a package or provide a
copy to me so
I can try to build one, or perhaps has a .deb package of GAIM
1.3.1. or 1.5;
please let me know.
We really can't recommend that you use an old version though - there
are some known security vulnerabilities and several of the protocols
will not work.
