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 On Wednesday 09 October 2002 03:33, windwalker wrote:
