Ah, That's four versions behind the current release. It's a fine 
release, mind you, but it's not kept up to date anymore, so when things 
like compatibility issues arise, they are rarely addressed.

You can try AMSN as John suggested, you can try installing a newer 
version of Pidgin or you can upgrade you Ubuntu install. Sorry, none of 
these are ideal solutions... It's tricky to maintain old versions of 
programs sometimes.

Let us know which path you choose and how it works out and/or if you 
want any help!
