My experience with the Licq package from Cooker was not good.
Although it was a month ago (maybe a little more), I remember that it
requires qt2, which requires libstcc++-1.95 or some such, which breaks
things if you install it (you have to --force it or --nodeps because it
doesn't want to replace old files).
What I did instead was go to http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/licq.html and
pick the one on the top of the list- the one for i386, not the PPC one.
You don't get that i586 extra speed, but... it installs right away; it
doesn't require qt2 or some new version of libstdc++, and works fine on
my Venus system.
Also, it's .70f, which is relatively new- much better, I find, than
..61. One thing, though- when you run it, you have to specify a plug-in:
[user@host user]$ licq -p qt-gui
You can make an alias (`alias licq='licq -p qt-gui'`) or perhaps
there's a default config file somewhere; I haven't looked. My point
is, it worked for me where Cooker's RPM didn't.
