I recently stumbled over a facebook-plugin for pidgin and thought I'd give it a try and build it on my fresh install of nv_105.
Downloaded both the icons and the source...
# bunzip2 pidgin-facebookchat-source-1.47.tar.bz2
# /usr/sfw/bin/gtar xvf pidgin-facebookchat-source-1.47.tar
# cd pidgin-facebookchat
# make libfacebook.so
# cp libfacebook.so /usr/lib/purple-2/
# cd /usr/lib/purple-2/
# chgrp bin libfacebook.so
Icons were easy...
# bunzip2 pidgin-facebookchat-1.47.tar.bz2
# /usr/sfw/bin/gtar xvf pidgin-facebookchat-1.47.tar
# cp ./usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/22/facebook.png /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/22/
# cp ./usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/48/facebook.png /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/48/
# cp ./usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/16/facebook.png /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/16/
Damn. by far the easiest I've run into...

Thanks for documenting this tidbit. I am a die-hard Solaris user and try to do everything from my Solaris desktop.
Hello,
Adaptions have to be realised to compile on OpenSolaris.
Firstly, edit the Makefile and adapt the gcc reference (references are related to Linux systems ...).
Secondly, for icons, download http://pidgin-facebookchat.googlecode.com/files/facebook_icons.zip
Otherwise, the plugin is fully integrated in pidgin.
