The version of EveryBuddy supplied with SuSE 8.0 does not 
function, you need to upgrade it.

You may, however, discover that when you upgrade you run 
into a bevy of unmet dependencies and then the adventure
begins.  ;-) 

Same is true of GAIM.  If you look through the archives you will
discover many users who have struggled with this challenge, 
and for most no solution has been forthcoming.

There is hope that some of the upgrades in 8.1 may have 
resolved these dependency issues, or that they have provided 
fuly functional versions of EveryBuddy or GAIM -- perhaps 
someone with 8.1 can answer that.

I had EveryBuddy working very briefly and it was wonderful!
Then I ran autoupdate on SuSE and it stopped working, never
to rise again.  :-(

If you have lots of time, lots of patience, and are good at guessing
the steps no one remembers to tell you and that no one bothers
to document then go for it -- and if you'd be so kind please document
how you got there so the rest of us may duplicate your success!

IMHO, YMMV, etc. doc
