It did help. Thanks. Now when I started everybuddy, I got various pop up dialogues telling me about the people in by buddy list. I clicked OK for everyone but got the error message that these people are already on my list. So I restarted everybuddy and logged in again. This time I did not get any error message. The problem now is that I cannot see my buddy list any where in everybuddy. Is this usual? Will I be able to see them once they come online? TIA Leo Chris Goddard wrote:

The problem lies in everybuddy initially creating the file .everybuddy/accounts You can manually create the account file using the following format:

<ACCOUNT <type of account (AIM, MSN, JABBER, ICQ, etc.)> SCREEN_NAME="<screenname>" PASSWORD="<password>" </ACCOUNT>

Obviously, you can put multiple accounts in the file, by stipulating multiple instances of the bit above.

I hope this helps!

I have downloaded and installed the current version of everybuddy. When I run it the first time, I get a small dialogue box where I enter my msn

username and password. I then specify MSN in the drop down menu and then

click OK. The dialogue box closes and I get a segmentation fault in the console window. I get a segmentation fault everytime I try to start everybuddy untill I remove the files and directories in .everybuddy in home directory. The entire process is repeated again. In short I cannot run everybuddy.
