Cygwin *shouldn't* be related unless you have added cygwin stuff to your path (and there are libraries that have the same as the native versions). The fact that you're seeing the "gdk_pixbuf_animation_new_from_file_utf8" function missing indicates that this is likely what the problem is. Pidgin isn't cygwin-dependent and adding cygwin packages will not fix the problem. I would suggest searching for the dll mentioned in the error message to see where you have instances of it. The pidgin debug output (see http://d.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports) may also be helpful. -D _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
