There's undoubtedly a better way, but here goes:

X={{1,2},{4,5},{1,6},{2,9},{1,10},{4,3}};

X=Split[Sort@X,#1[[1]]==#2[[1]]&];

Map[{#[[1,1]],Total@#[[All,2]]}&,X]

Out[8]=
{{1,18},{2,9},{4,8}}

Dear group
I have a pair of elements list. The second elements of the list should
be summed when the first element of the pairs are equals. Example

Given

{{a1, b1},{a2,b2},{a2,b3},{a2,b4},{a3, b5}, {a3, b6}}

the output should be

{{a1, b1},{a2, b2+b3+b4},{a3, b5+b6}}

Thanks 

Guillermo
