Being an op on ##mandrake I have to say that it IS quite a nice place to find an answer to a question fairly quickly, and the group of folks that populates the channel - ops and users - are more than friendly and more than helpful - and I'm not saying that just because I'm an op there, it's because I've learned quite a bit from just watching (listening) over the past several years.

(in other words, decide where you want the Kvirc CVS folders to be stored, I usually use my /home directory for this, so open a terminal in your home directory). And note that if you decide to place the kvirc CVS folders somewhere convenient, make sure that no folder name has a space in it or you'll have trouble with recursive errors, for some reason compiling with folder names with spaces in the path causes errors on some systems, better to avoid it. Enter these into the terminal window followed by enter: cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs login (If you have trouble here open the Mandrake Control Center and install cvs. Then try again.) You will be asked for a password...just hit return. Then enter: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs co kvirccvs The files will now be downloaded. When finished enter these commands (each followed by enter.): cd kvirccvs/kvirc ./autogen.sh (this will take a while) (You'll see errors here, ignore them.) (If you have trouble here make sure automake and autoconf are installed.) (Autoconf 2.13 and 2.5 are usually installed together.) The CVS will be made ready for configuring... Once this finishes: Open a terminal window in the Kvirc source directory. This will be the /kvirccvs/kvirc directory and located in the directory wherever you opened the first terminal window.. You'll have to change to this directory from the previous stuff. Paste in the following commands into the terminal (enter after each). export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 export KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde Then Paste this command in: ./configure --with-kde-library-dir=/usr/lib/kde3 --with-big-channels --enable-debug Note that this needs to be all on one line. (The debug stuff is needed if you ever have trouble and the big-channels makes Kvirc work better on large channels with no effect on smaller ones.) After this finishes, check for errors and missing packages. Once you're happy (see below for more info on this): make (enter) (this will take a while) su to root priveliges (in other words, type su and enter, then the root password and enter. You should be now in terminal as root) make install (enter) (note that make install won't work as a user, you must su to root.) Commands can be copied from here and pasted into konsole. Do all of your compiling as a user, and su to root only for the make install part. Compiling with make takes a while, and the first time so does the make install, as the modules are created. After that it is faster as only the changed stuff gets re-compiled. Fire it up with the command kvirc. Go through the Kvirc setup and enable whatever features you need. -- -- I have attached the file /kvirccvs/kvirc/config.log from my compile of this morning. You can use it to wade through your own file. This file will be created as you do the ./configure... command from above. Go through the file I sent and make sure yours is similar. There may be some differences in kernel level, but if you have package errors I don't have on mine, hunt them up and install them. It's easy. Tere will be some errors reported that are just differences in *nix operating systems. Configure will try to determine what it needs according to the OS you have. If you have trouble locating something, let me know (I have them all squirreled away here.) This should be easy though. In general, make sure you have the kernel source and the devel files for packages you have installed, and things will go smoothly. There is a section in the kvirc install info file that will describe what to do to get the compression for the DCC voice chat working. It only needs to be done once.

Once this finishes: Open a terminal window in the Kvirc source directory. This will be the /kvirccvs/kvirc directory and located in the directory wherever you opened the first terminal window.. You'll have to change to this directory from the previous stuff. Paste in the following commands into the terminal (enter after each). export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 export KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde Then Paste this command in: ./configure --with-kde-library-dir=/usr/lib/kde3 --with-big-channels --enable-debug Note that this needs to be all on one line. (The debug stuff is needed if you ever have trouble and the big-channels makes Kvirc work better on large channels with no effect on smaller ones.) After this finishes, check for errors and missing packages. Once you're happy (see below for more info on this): make (enter) (this will take a while) su to root priveliges (in other words, type su and enter, then the root password and enter. You should be now in terminal as root) make install (enter) (note that make install won't work as a user, you must su to root.) Commands can be copied from here and pasted into konsole. Do all of your compiling as a user, and su to root only for the make install part. Compiling with make takes a while, and the first time so does the make install, as the modules are created. After that it is faster as only the changed stuff gets re-compiled. Fire it up with the command kvirc. Go through the Kvirc setup and enable whatever features you need. -- -- I have attached the file /kvirccvs/kvirc/config.log from my compile of this morning. You can use it to wade through your own file. This file will be created as you do the ./configure... command from above. Go through the file I sent and make sure yours is similar. There may be some differences in kernel level, but if you have package errors I don't have on mine, hunt them up and install them. It's easy. Tere will be some errors reported that are just differences in *nix operating systems. Configure will try to determine what it needs according to the OS you have. If you have trouble locating something, let me know (I have them all squirreled away here.) This should be easy though. In general, make sure you have the kernel source and the devel files for packages you have installed, and things will go smoothly. There is a section in the kvirc install info file that will describe what to do to get the compression for the DCC voice chat working. It only needs to be done once. You can skip this if you don't care about DCC voice chat. -- -- - Here's the voice section: - (Optional) If you want DCC VOICE to support the gsm codec, you need a recent copy of libgsm. This is not strictly required at compile time since KVIrc will look for the library

Hi Folks I currently use X-Chat to sit on an IRC channel usually 24/7 (as this machine is always on) and there are a few minor things I thought someone here could help me with :) I'd like it to be able to flash in the taskbar when someone says something. If not can someone suggest another program instead please? I'm getting on well with X-Chat and this would be a good addition :) Cheers, Elwyn Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] IRC and network settings....
Ok, I am trying to run IRC on either my Linux box or my Windows box that the Linux box IPMasqs for. The problem I am having is that I fail the IDentD checks. I am wondering if this is due to my network settings. What should I have my hostname set to??? My ISP is dsl-only.net if that helps at all. I would really like to hear from someone that has been able to use IRC on a IPMasq setup and has been able to get on to any of the Effnet servers. This problem has been bugging me for several months now and I have been unable to solve it. Any help would be appreciated very much! Semper Fi
[newbie] linux newbie IRC chat rooms
I'm looking for a good IRC chat room for where linux newbies can get together and help each other and discuss Linux. I know there are already a ton of linux chats out there, but I haven't found a "good" one yet. Alot of the rooms I stumble into are overflowing with tons of newbies all yelling for the attention of a few "gurus" I'm looking for a smaller group of newbies that enjoys helping one another, and teach others new things.Anyone know of a chatroom such as this? If so please share it, either email me direct or post it to this group. Thanks! Aaron
