Has anyone been able to do this yet? I used to do it in SuSE (I think) 8.1, because they included it with the distro. Maybe 8.0. But somewhere in there they stopped including the AvantGo conduits. So I used to bring in the conduits (the actually library files) manually from another distro compiled with the same version of glibc and that would work. It was a very hacky way to get the job done, but the only way I could find.
Well, I'm trying to get this going under 9.2 and I notice that it's seemingly now included with the distro. Now in 9.2 it includes an rpm called libmal. I look it up and it is described as being for AvantGo. I look up the website...
http://jasonday.home.att.net/code/libmal/
.... and it says "libmal is really just a convenience library of the functions in Tom Whittaker's malsync distribution, along with a few wrapper functions."
So what gives? If this is installed functionality, then how do I use it? Has anyone gotten this to work?

I can't help you with Gnome-Pilot, but I am doing it with JPilot. I installed jpilot-syncmal-0.71.2-1.i386.rpm from jasonday's site and compat-readline4 from the DVD. That was all it took for me,,. HTH.
