[newbie] Compiling Problems (Licq) -- Could be Off Topic
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. -- /-|rcana - - * - - Pern - Araby Weyr: http://members.tripod.com/~Araby/ FF7 - Tales of Midgar: http://members.tripod.com/~ArcanaTxM/ Xenogears - DeM: http://members.tripod.com/~project_xat/ Xenogears - Guardian Angels: http://guardian.zenogias.com/

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
