Hi all, Running SuSE 8.2 version and had installed GAIM (0.58) from the distro discs. Things were working nicely, until recently when in my Buddy list appeared a plea to upgrade to the latest version. So I downloaded the source for (0.75) and upon configuring I get the...
Why not use an rpm from www.usr-local-bin.org? I use gaim-0.75-100.SuSE.ulb.3, which was compiled for SuSE9.0, but works without a hitch in 8.2.
Ah! Thanks! I had tried 2 different RPMs from the SourceForge site but not seeing any SuSE versions, I tried some for RH 9.0 and RH 8 but when I attempted it there were MANY dependencies that it cried for so I quit them. Thanks for the link to his useful site. Still such a newbie, I have to ask more: I have a Pentium III box, should I use the other version? gaim-0.75-100.SuSE.ulb.3.i586.rpm I have already reinstalled the 0.58 version just to get working again. Should I UNinstall GAIM 0.58 before trying to install 0.75 version? Or will it just update nicely? Generally speaking in Linux world should we manually uninstall the older before upgrading to newer? Or does it just vary by application? Thanks! JeepNut In a world without walls or fences, who needs Windows or Gates?
