The irc protocol plugin in net-im/pidgin-2.10.7 appears to be built and installed normally, but is non-functional and does not load, rendering pidgin unable to connect to irc networks and leaving irc accounts shown in the account list as "Unknown" protocol. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile net-im/pidgin-2.10.7 2. Attempt to create an irc account. Observe that IRC is missing from the protocol list. 3. Verify with ls and lsof that /usr/lib64/purple-2/libirc.so is present but is not loaded.

Please post your `emerge -vpq net-im/pidgin' output in a comment.
Cause is failure to link the IRC plugin with SASL. Workaround: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libsasl2.so pidgin See for example http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=701541
Sorry, this might help, since you asked: mwood@mhw ~ $ emerge -vpq net-im/pidgin [ebuild R ] net-im/pidgin-2.10.7 USE="dbus doc gnutls gstreamer gtk ncurses sasl xscreensaver (-aqua) -debug -eds -gadu -groupwise -idn -meanwhile -networkmanager -nls -perl -prediction -python -silc -spell -tcl -tk -zephyr -zeroconf" mwood@mhw ~ $
I experienced this bug after "upgrading" to 2.10.7 today.

Created attachment 342038 [details, diff] proper fix for this problem This should be the proper fix for this problem. Obviously, it requires eautoreconf (well, perhaps just eautomake).
Patch added to the bug tracker here, was applied upstream see: https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/15517 https://hg.pidgin.im/pidgin/main/rev/944ec96bb103
