Good to know but v9 is not that far away.

I created server packages for openSUSE and installed those. Bootstrapping 
worked flawlessly. My client talks to the server but I had installed previously

You can try connecting to the freely available server (salaam.homeunix.com)
In any case just send the log files our way. There should be a gnumed.log 
somwehere. Ask if you need more assistance.
