$ git clone git://git.gnome.org/empathy
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=<your prefix>
$ make && make install
$ ldconfig

(if installing in a system library. Make sure that "/etc/ld.so.conf" contains "/lib" first.)

If you installed in a special prefix different from /usr or /usr/local you have to add it to XDG dirs:

$ export XDG_DATA_DIRS="$XDG_DATA_DIRS:$prefix"

To make use of files from source dir (*.ui, *.dtd, etc) you can define

EMPATHY_SRCDIR=/path/to/empathy/source

when I try to execute "./autogen.sh --prefix=" command, I get the following: which: no gnome-autogen.sh in (/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/artaxerxe/bin) You need to install gnome-common from the GNOME GIT – artaxerxe Dec 28 '11 at 13:46
Now I get this error after I execute "./autogen.sh" : configure: error: glib-compile-schemas not found. Any idea? – artaxerxe Dec 28 '11 at 14:03
install gnome-common by downloading it from here {http://pkgs.repoforge.org/gnome-common/} – harish.venkat Dec 28 '11 at 14:04

I tried to install via yum, but there are no matches. – artaxerxe Dec 28 '11 at 14:25
