You'll need to run ./configure first.

If you download from mercurial, you'll need ./autogen.sh before that.

You probably don't have the development (source) package for pidgin installed

The install needs to be done as root (or with sudo).

May I recommend reading up a bit on how to compile from source? There are many 
resources out there that are better than me... ;)
