>Description:
If the GSTREAMER and VV options in net-im/libpurple are disabled, then the farsight library does not get installed. Despite this, net-im/pidgin still tries to link against "libgstfarsight.a", which does not necessarily exist in this case, thus hitting a compilation error.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Run ``make config'' for net-im/libpurple and uncheck the GSTREAMER and VV options.
2. Make sure you do not have net-im/farsight2 installed. If necessary to remove libpurple's dependency on gstreamer and farsight, first rebuild and reinstall libpurple with the options just set.
3. Try to build net-im/pidgin.
