Hello I was once subscribed to this list, but due to problems with my mail account and that I was going to change my ISP, I unsubscribed. Now I've changed my ISP and my mailbox works fine, so I'm here again :-) As I said the last time, sorry if my English is not perfect. I'm from Spain no English is not my native language. I'm sure there are more non native English-speakers in this list ;-) so probably I'm telling you something you already knew. I use S.u.S.E 5.3 and I'm trying to "transfer" everything from windows to linux. I want to make sure that everything works under linux before doing the "transfer". Now that I have introduced myself... the question :-) I want to install BitchX on my machine, so the first thing I did is to look among the packages in the SuSe CD. I found that BitchX wasn't there, so I decided to download it from www.bitchx.com. I downloaded, ungzipped and untared a file with the name "BitchX+Tcl-75p3-Linux-glibc2-i386.tgz". When I try to execute BitchX, it says that it needs libncurses 3.4. On my system I only have libncurses 3.0 (which come with the distribution CDs) so I also decided to download libncurses from FreshMeat. There I found libncurses 5.0 beta. I have tried to compile them following the instructions (that is, making "./configure" and "make install"), but the libraries still don't appear in my "/lib" directory and therefore BitchX doesn't run. How could I solve the problem. Thank you very much for your help. _________________________________ Àlex Maneu - nexus.mansoft@ctv.es ICQ: 12433233 Phones: +34932967792, +34619541839 PGP Public Key Available at http://www.amaneu.informaticos.org http://plataforma.hypermart.net http://www.mansoft.informaticos.org TARIFA PLANA YA! _________________________________
