sh-3.2#

could somebody shed some light what is happening?
 
Well, the first issue is that you have a checksum error, which means a file is corrupt or edited, and does not match the md5 data.
The second error is stating that it cannot check the data against that on the server.
The third are all of the dependancies (software/libraries you need to have installed for pidgin to run).
Just out of curiosity, why would you want to build Pidgin on OS X?
 
because I use pidgin on windows and linux :)

I'm getting similar error regarding md5 checksums pretty much on everything I want to install, any advice how to fix it? :)
