Using SlackBuild scripts

First we should need install the pidgin in our local system, the below commands downloads the whole directory of Pidgin:

    mkdir pidgin

    cd pidgin

    wget --passive -ftp ftp://slackware.at/slackware-version/source/xap/pidgin/* (using your Slackware Version replaces the version, for eample, if Slackware is 12.0, then ftp://slackware.at/slackware-12.0/source/xap/pidgin).

    In the download directory, we need files including following:

    pidgin-2.4.1.tar.bz2  pidgin-encryption-3.0.tar.gz  pidgin.SlackBuild*   slack-desc.
