I recently loaded the debian distro onto my amd 64 system and so far i've been getting by slowly.  When i'm trying to install pidgin, I encounter this compile error,

conv.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

Everything looks good up until it goes into libpurple, which I think I installed. Anybody know what is causing this error?  I am new at this and i'm still trying to figure everything out.  Thanks!
