Jezza Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 are you installing from a suse repository, or compiling from source? It's almost always best to install from a repository. On a debian based distro, the command would normally be sudo apt-get install gaim But then, SuSe has YAST, and I'm not sure if that controlls all the stuff like that. I never used SuSe If not, check out amsn.sourceforge.net and download the lastest CVS snapshot. You will need tcl and tk 8.4 dev files installed, but aside from that, I think it's pretty light on dependencies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
savethedodobird Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 If you have a recent version of suse, It should have come pre-installed with both gaim and kopete. If you cant get either to work try installing them another way. Maybe try compiling from source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
