Get the qt2 and licq RPMs from Cooker (http://www.linux-mandrake.com/cooker/).
We're using a quick hack with renamed libraries (renamed libqt.so.2.0 to
libqt2.so.2.0) to have the possibility to link against either version of
Qt (1.44 is still more widely used than 2.00 because of KDE), so the licq
source requires some patching.
If you don't want to download the RPMs,
cd /usr/src/licq-0.70
find . -type f -exec perl -p -i -e "s/-lqt/-lqt2/" {} \;
should do the trick - also don't forget to pass
--with-qt-includes=/usr/include/qt2 to ./configure.

Re: [newbie] LICQ and Madrake 6.0 HELP!
I have run into the same problem. I have been using the one that came with my 5.3 Mandrake cd. I can't install the qt rpm due to failed dependences libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 . I have looked for this file on some of the site as well as on my 6.1 cd but i don't see it anywhere. Love 6.1 btw. Any more ideas??? thanks G_REEPER (Steven G)
Re: [newbie] LICQ and Madrake 6.0 HELP!
I had the same trouble and now use kxicq (kde specific) which has worked pretty well up until now. If you're using gnome, gnoicq (which comes with gnome on mandrake) is a great product. If you don't want to use either of those, there're plenty of others. I recommend looking on www.linuxberg.com On Tue, 21 Sep 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have run into the same problem.

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. -Matt Stegman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] LICQ and Madrake 6.0 HELP!
Hi Matt! I have LICQ working on my mandrake 6.0 system, and it works wonderfully! I believe I have installed the version before version 7. I would suggest that, with ICQ clients, you ALWAYS allow yourself to lag behind one version and always install the next older version than the current one. The reason for this, is that the newest version nearly always has multitudes of bugs in them. NOTE: Always download the most current version that says "STABLE" and everything will be peachy. Also, for your further information, I am having lots of problems manually compiling programs, as everything seems to tell me "recursive... quitting" and also tells me that the Make files cannot find the .h headers on my system. Since I am trying to figure that out, I've been opting to install things using RPM for the time being until I can get these "wires" uncrossed here. Anything further, lemme know. Kurt --- "Matt G.
