text file of probable link error for pidgin.

Please look at the file for the error since it is a bit long.

Thank you,

Hi,

It's actually net-libs/gupnp-igd-0.2.1 package, which is a dependency for pidgin, failed to link. You may want to update the title to reflect that.

This very much looks like this debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=713536

Attach a valid build log, not a blob of text produced by whatever tool has produced this.

Anyway:
undefined reference to symbol 'g_type_init'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: note: 'g_type_init' is defined in DSO /usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 

is the standard recent linker issue (due to upstream underlinking).

1) Please post your `emerge --info' output in a comment.
2) Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.
