[SOLVED] pidgin-otr not working?

I've installed pidgin-otr, but no matter what I do it doesn't show up in the pidgin plugins dialog. All the other plugins show up and work just fine, but for some reason OTR just isn't being recognized. I tried manually installing libotr and even libotr3, but neither seems to have had any effect. I don't see any obvious errors in the debug log for pidgin either, not really sure what else to do to try to debug this issue.

Edit: After running pidgin with the -d switch to get debug on the console I noticed an error message from libotr complaining about libgcrypt. After upgrading to the latest version of libgcrypt it started working.

Re: [SOLVED] pidgin-otr not working?

Is your system up to date?
libgcrypt got updated in late January.
