yes, open YAST and pick GAIM and it should install everything for you.

Of course i don't use SUSE so i'm not sure, but you should use your distrobutions package management system to install software.

i went YAST>install and remove software and write down gaim and aloso kopete but it could find anything..

Kopete is labelled as kdenetwork-instant-messenger or something similar. Suse 9.1 personal lacks a lot of packages that are in the professional version. If you search on google or this site, there are tips on how to convert Suse 9.1 personal to the professional version.

I really enjoy mercury. But it is only msn client. If you wanna, take a look.
