My suggestion is to use GAIM... It works well and configuration is minimal...I have few thoughts if you dont mind me adding to the already many responses.
I like to use RPMs. I usually can download these by one of two ways in addition to linuxberg(tucows). Try www.freshmeat.net. THis is usually very up to date in terms of versions(Use tucows to get ratings)...Freshmeat has homepage links as well... In addition I use the RPM site....
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/gaim.html
This has an incredible RPM database and organizes the RPMs according to Processor (intel, alpha, etc) and distribution (Redhat, Mandrake)...
I also create an RPMs dir so that I have a record of all RPMs installed after installing linux....
Hope this helps... GAIM works well speaking from personal experience.
