You only need otrproxy if you're using an IM client that doesn't have
OTR support built in; something like iChat.  A whole bunch of IM clients
have OTR built in (or available as a plugin) like Adium X, pidgin,
Trillian, etc.

All you should have to do is install pidgin-otr, and enable it in
Pidgin's plugins window.
