To install Pidgin on CentOS 5 or RHEL 5, save the pidgin.repo file from above in /etc/yum.repos.d/

You can then use "yum install pidgin", or your favorite package manager, to install Pidgin

You will also need to install the GPG signing key manually:
rpm --import http://rpm.pidgin.im/RPM-GPG-KEY-pidgin

You can then use "up2date -u pidgin" to install Pidgin.
