If you could please tell me what you did to get this working. Star office 5.1 works fine for me .. to get it working as a user you just install it as that user. Seeya, Lindsay

Re: [newbie] (k)licq updates - Can I use them?
On Tue, 28 Sep 1999, you wrote: I'm currently using klicq 0.61.2-1.rh60 and it runs great, but I've noticed that licq is now in version .70.x. I've read that you can have headaches upgrading to that version b/c of the QT libraries. The ones needed for licq 70 are 'ahead' of the ones needed for KDE 1.1.1. Anyone know if this is still true? I'd like to update, but don't want to deal with the headaches right now - have enough others. The pre-compiled version 70f at: ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/libc6/i386/ seems to work fine without the need for the QT 2.0 Libaries (maybe it is staticaly compiled). I am yet to find a version that has the latest Klicq patches compiled in, or a later version. Seeya, Lindsay
Re: [newbie] Multiprocessor and Display

I have a Gateway Vivitron 1572 15inch monitor.. it's not listed in the Xconfig's monitor list. Will this have an effect on Xserver? I chose so many different ones (including the closest one - Gateway Vivitron 15inch) but none of them work. I tried going to gateway's site and look up refresh rates (they're all aroun 60-70 Hz but did not list horizontal/vertical refresh rates). Choose Custom Monitor. It will then give you the choices to pick refresh rates you are after. Seeya, Lindsay

I have no particular idea of what i am doing at all.. and am frustrated... I will not let it beat me.. I am reading linux manuals for breakfast and dinner, but would appreciate some direction on licq install... Thanks all 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. oh yeah, well this might help.. the error that i am receiving is [ERR] IniFile: Warning, failed to find key File = /home/aaron/.licq/owner.uin Selection = [user] Key = "WebPresence" 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. [WRN] No plugins specified on teh command-line (-p option). See the README for more information 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. The package i am trying to install is licq-0~1.rpm (sounds like I know what im talking about eh'... pretty impressive stuff) That is a typo I take it, what is the version you have ?? *** START "owner.uin" ** [user] alias=[your alias] Uin=[your password] Password = [your password] HideIP = 0 WebPresence = 0 OnlineNotify = 0 InvisibleList = 0 VisibleList = 0 Group = 0 Ip = [local ip] Port = 1040 NewUser = 0 NewMessages = 0 Alias = FirstName = LastName = S EMail = [your email] Authorization = 1 History = [history localtion] Homepage = none City = State = Country = 61 Timezone = 16 PhoneNumber = Age = 0 Sex = 2 About = (not supported yet) ***
Re: [newbie] Compiling Problems (Licq) -- Could be Off Topic
On Mon, 27 Sep 1999, you wrote: Here's an interesting question. This might be off-topic, because it's not exactly Linux-Mandrake specific, but there are a couple questions that branch off about the release. I've been having problems compiling programs under Linux-Mandrake 6.0. The gcc that I use is version 2.91.66. The programs I've been trying to compile are: -Fuzzball 5.64 (A MUCK); fb4.64; -Licq, 0.70.1; -The KDE plug-in for Licq. If there are compile errors, such as "gets function is dangerous and should not be used", then that is not my system's problem, but instead the programmer's problem, and I should report it to them? A side question. Has anyone managed to acquire a good ICQ Unix clone up and working? I have problems with the KDE plugin with Licq; it doesn't seem to want to compile. LICQ is about the best ICQ clone that I have found. (personal preference there) I could compile the main program ok in 6.1 but the Gui needs QT 2.0. I didn't want to stuff around and risk running QT 2.0 but I did find a pre-compiled RPM, version of 70.f. I have been happlily running this for a while in Mandrake 6.0 and it works just as well in 6.1. I can't seem to find a later RPM .. but I will be on the lookout. If you want to look at it, it is available at: ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/libc6/i386/ Read the docs to make it install the GUI all the time. Seeya, Lindsay
