Any suggestions?

Thanks, James

Can it be because you do not have privileges to run Pidgin? As he says, you did not specify where did get Pidgin from. Try to remove it and re-install it using YaST. I installed it using YaST and compiled it later, and in both cases it worked fine. James Pifer wrote:

My original version was rpm version 2.5.3 from one of the opensuse repos. But I also compiled from source with version 2.5.4.
