Linux manuals won't help you on this one .. a little experience with the
program, reading the docs that came with the application and reading the error
messages will help you.

Ok .. this might be a bug in that RPM I think. I remember this from when I
installed it a while back. From memory I just wrote one to
satisfy the error messages, then allowed LICQ to write a proper
one once it had started..
I have included my owner.uin file, with all my personal info removed. Cut
it out, paste it to a file called "owner.uin" in your .licq directory. Then
edit it a little to allow it to start, then adjust your settings and tell LICQ
to save it's setting. It then writes a new one and adds a few things.

This is where you have to read the docs.
Simply put though .. you should type licq -s [gui-plugin]
Can't remember exactly what I typed, but from memory it was something like
"licq -s qt-gui"
The "-s" option means that you only have to type it in once, after that you
should be able to start licq with just the "licq" command.

That is a typo I take it, what is the version you have ??
