Install Pidgin 2.7.0 in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx through source

Okay, here's how to install the source (rather than via ppa):

*) Download Pidgin 2.7.0 source from sourceforge (I like usemirror jaist)

*) Extract source pidgin that has been downloaded

*) Add the following repository (if not already there):
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted
deb-src http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main universe multiverse restricted

*) Open a terminal, type:
apt-get install apt-get build-dep pidgin

*) Configure pidgin:
cd /directory/nyimpen/source/pidgin
./configure
Make
make install

Next create a launcher, could be in the Applications or the Panel ;-)
