I am trying to build Pidgin from the source code, and have been following the directions here. When trying to run ./configure, I get these errors:
./configure: line 2672: config.log: Permission denied
./configure: line 2682: config.log: Permission denied
I'm not sure what to do from here in order to fix the error. I don't seem to have a config.log in the directory and Google searches and pidgin irc has been less than fruitful.
First thing to check is your permissions. Do you own the directory you are working in? (you didn't sudo the tar command did you?)
