[expert] LICQ Not working Follow up
FWIW, LICQ does work if I am root, su, or kdesu. Just refuses to work as normal user. I have even shut msec clear off with no change.. Sure would like to solve the puzzle.. More info that I just thought of: My buddy's system is using the CheapBytes CD's and this one is loaded from Edmunds Enterprises CD's.. Wonder if they had a bad burn I did get the ZIP problem I was having figured out and fixed. Has to be master on the second IDE channel in order to work. Thanks to all who gave advice on that one. OH, I did download and compile licq from source but dependencies were a problem, it wanted QT 2.xx to finish the plugin compile. -- Ken Thompson Payette, Idaho Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux- Coming Soon To A Desktop Near You Registered Linux User #183936 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] LICQ not working
The subject sez it all. Both 9.0 and 9.1b1 will not let LICQ or LICQ(kde) load and run.. Different systems entirely, funny thing is, it works on my buddy's system with no trouble. Also, it works on my Pentium II 400. It worked OK from 8.0 up untill 9.0 too. Hmm, VIA chipsets again If anyone knows how to make this durn thing work I'd be happy to know.

As a matter of fact, I get this message when I try to run nearly anything from KDE or Gnome from the term. BUT, most apps will still run... This is the second or third install of the download version, once and only once did licq(kde) work for a short period of time on this machine, the regular licq has not worked at all since 8.2.. I have even downloaded the latest (as of then) release, removed the MDK version and installed the tar file version, same result. The two machines that are working are both intel chipsets if that makes any difference.
