I select to set up Skype access in kde-telpathy with libpurple installed and pidgin-skype installed but when I select skype from the list, there is no where to enter a user name and password. If I click advanced setting I get a blank pop up window. How do I get Skype working?

Thanks for the post. Reminds me I forgot include version(directly from standard repositories) and os info(same as you Precise and KDE 4.9).

Am I missing a known bug that has not been fixed or has been fixed in version not yet pushed to the update repos?

This seems to be an issue with the version of pidgin-skype provided in Ubuntu's repos. Building and installing the latest SVN version from here fixed the problem for me. It's a bit of a fiddle to get it to build. You need to run `make all`, not just `make` and I recall having a couple of other issues too.

Maybe I am missing something overly obvious, but I don't see anything that can be built from source. 2 precompiled so files and a zip that does not look to have any makefiles or anything in it. I will probably try replacing the so files manually, and test the package from Quantal since it seems to be built off a slightly newer svn build form the same day.
EDIT: No luck using either method. I first tried the Quantal update. I was able to get a account name box but still got the "not all fields entered" error. So I tried the 2 so files from google code and I was right back to where I was. For what it is worth, the google code files do differ in size from those offered in the Quntal package. Is it worth adding the Telepathy PPA? I understand the risk in regards to Telepathy, I am just concerned if it can break anything else?

Sorry, only got a few hours sleep last night so not all here today.I checked out the svn and tried using sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin-skype then "make all." I get this error:

You likely need to install the glib development package, which is probably named libglib-devel or similar.

Thanks for a quick reply but No such package.

Hmm, on closer inspection it seems that the glib2 development package is already installed...
You will need to alter the compilation script to include the correct paths for glib2 unfortunately, which is in /usr/lib/glib-2.0/include or /usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include depending on your system architecture

Niether path existed:
My best guess is /usr/share/lintian/overrides/libglib2.0-0 is that correct?

Please run "locate glibconfig.h" and add that directory. The lintian directory is not correct.

Ok so locate gave me this:
usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h So I updated the GLIB_CFLAGS line: GLIB_CFLAGS = -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include/ -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include/ Then make all and sudo make install:
Did I miss something because I still get the all fields error in telepathy.

Did you logout or otherwise restart Telepathy after performing the installation?
