   1 libPurple core-answerscripts plugin
   2         - Framework for hooking scripts to respond received messages for various libpurple clients such as pidgin or finch
   3         - This simple plugin just passes every single message received by any libPurple-based client (pidgin,finch) to sript(s) in user's home directory... So you can add various hooks to your pidgin or finch without need of writing and compiling own C plugin or messing with buggy perl plugin and restarting client after each change in plugin.
   4         - There are already few sample (answer)scripts in purple directory, so you can check how easy it is to write some script for pidgin or finch...

  14         and install it with
  15         $ make install

  21         $ make
  22         $ su
  23         # make install PREFIX="/path/to/libpurple" (this command as root user)
  24         generally /path/to/libpurple is /usr or /usr/local. If you don't know the path then you can find out using
  25         $ whereis libpurple
  26         and look for the part before "/lib/libpurple.so".
