new Suse install

Ok, I was tired of having to deal with the broken stuff from my upgrade of suse 9.2 to suse 9.3, so I wiped it all out and redid the install, all is well except now for some reason I cannot get the clam running. I know it is what I am doing but for the life of me I cannot get figure out what I am doing wrong. I now have suse 9.3 on my desktop and it is great!! I have had a fresh install for a week now and it is aswome, it has fixed most broken things except it didn't install the RPM data base wasn't installed properly and Charles had to come and fix it. I will find out what he did to fix it and document it. The only thing I am concerned with now is it going to break again when I try to install something else?
