Finally , I thought of installing it over Linux via VMware medium. I tried for 2 consecutive days when free ,I struck @ dependencies which were required to install Pidgin Libpurple , so no luck over it.
But Later out of 4 dependencies I left with 1 critical dependencies , which was harder to get , so I left in the middle as nothing seems happening as the package that has that dependencies library has other trivial dependencies , which made me sick.
Then one day My friend messaged me @ FB that what happened ..to the promise ? and I messaged back saying Ask your Sir for the same i.e "libnssutil3.so" dependency how to resolve it.
Then I thought of giving one more short, Finally by luck , I was successful. I installed Firefox rpm fedora package and it worked , but; later pigin was unable to load due to ..some Plug-in issue , but after googleing it was finally done and working.
Following is the procedure in detail how to proceed with the installation.
STEP 1 : Download "pigdin.repo" from this link.
http://rpm.pidgin.im/centos/pidgin.repo
STEP 2 : COPY the above to "/etc/yum.repos.d/".
STEP 3 : Now you need to have following RPMs i.e
