I have pidgin installed, but it didn't build or install the binary.
| Code: | 0 remus:0.0 /home/brundage % which pidgin
pidgin not found |
| Code: | * net-im/pidgin
Latest version available: 2.2.1
Latest version installed: 2.2.1
Size of files: 8,673 kB
Homepage: http://pidgin.im/

So uh, how do I get pidgin?
| Code: | 1 remus:0.0 /home/brundage % emerge --info
Portage 2.1.3.16 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 x86_64)

The "pidgin" gui will only be built if the gtk use flag is enabled, I'm guessing it's not in your case.
"finch" is the ncurses/console user interface.

Yep, that is the case. package.use to the rescue!
