+To use the other services (such as Yahoo and IRC) which are available as
+plugins:
+They are installed in $libdir/gaim, which usually is either /usr/lib/gaim
+or /usr/local/lib/gaim, and should have a somewhat descriptive name (e.g.
+libyahoo.so or irc.so). Load those plugins using the normal plugin dialog.
+Then in the account editor, add a new account; the Protocol option menu
+should now have another option for the protocol that you loaded. Then you
+can sign that account on.

 If you want to build as a GNOME applet:
 ./configure --enable-panel ; make
 then su to root and run "make install".
