Re: [newbie] KVirc (Was: Wine problems)
Sure Gary, Here's the URL: http://www.kvirc.net/ to read up on it. I chose the download section on the top of the page on the menu, that page it shows locations in several countries. I went to the bottom of that page and chose the section where there are older KVIrc, it took me to the KVIrc directory at the following URL where I chose the 2.0.0 directory, and below that source and downloaded it directly from KVIrc instead of one of the mirrors. ftp://ftp.kvirc.net/kvirc/ Hope that helps, Bambi Gary wrote: Hi Fran, On Sunday, June 11, 2000, 12:01:55 PM, you hammered out in part about "[newbie] KVirc (Was: Wine problems)": FP Last night I downloaded and 'made' the KVIrc 2.

Re: [newbie] KVirc (Was: Wine problems)
The news section on the kvirc site (http://www.kvirc.bz.nu/ -new url) states that KDE2 support is a compile time option so if you want that later it's better to d/l the tarball now.

Re: [newbie] KVirc (Was: Wine problems)
Hi folks, I just want to say a Big thankyou to everyone who has helped me. I gave up using wine, and d/loaded kvirc 2.0.0. I ran the ./configure and it told me I needed to update my QT, which I did. I got and installed 2.2.1. took a long time to make. I looked at ftp://kvirc.firenze.linux.it/pub/kvirc/2.0.0/source/INSTALL which gave me great help. Anyway I was not sure if I could make the QT in a normal user, so I installed them using root, I also installed kvirc in root too. I will try installed kvirc later today as a normal user. It worked like a dream :) Once again, many thanx Cheers Kev

It is QT 2.1.1 Probably just a typo. Bambi "Colin L. Whipple" wrote: On Sun, 11 Jun 2000, you wrote: Hi folks, I just want to say a Big thankyou to everyone who has helped me.

Re: [newbie] KVirc (Was: Wine problems)
OK...the new KVIrc version 2 is awesome! Now how did I get it to run, you may ask. I had the same problems everyone else had when I tried to install the rpm. Well, I went and got the QT2.1.1 and upgraded my existing QT2. Then I got the RPM and using gnorpm I installed it. Same problem as everyone elsedoesn't work. I Checked the configure and it showed the QT2 directories in the wrong place I corrected it in hopes it would re-read it the next load and then run. No go. I uninstalled the rpm and went back to the site and got the tar.gz instead...since pathing was the problem I hoped I could temporarily set my QTDIR and create a version specific to my machines configuration. It worked! And it is awesome. I am online in KVIrc 2 as we speak! Maybe this will work for the rest of you as well. Read the instructions for the installation of the tar.gz on the web site ...that really helped alot. Although I am using Bash and I set the QTDIR slightly differently then they suggested.
