kde software q: removing parts of kde and IM


I recently came by a IM client that allowed access to MSN, AIM and ICQ at least, possibly yahoo and IRC as well. Now I've been trying to find that client but since I forgot the name I can't find it between all the others. Could you help me with the name?

Now I've installed KDE with apt and it has a lot of stuff in it I don't want ot need, like programs for adsl and sound recording. How do I remove those? I have been going through settings but I can't seem to find the delete button.

Thanks for the help !

You're probably thinking of gaim, try http://gaim.sf.net

I'm not sure if it applies to debian or not, but in slack kde apps are grouped together in a single package, so it is hard to uninstall just a few. If there is a certain catagory of apps you don't want, like accessibility apps, you can uninstall that package, but if there are just one or two you don't want just delete them from the kde menu. Out of sight, out of mind!

Yes thanks! The aim part distracted my attention

Yeah it works the same in debian. Well not much to do about it then. Thanks for the help!

I'm getting this error when I try to run 'sh configure':

It was created by gaim configure 0.79, which was

How do I solve it? I tried upgrading gcc, version 2.95, 3.0, 3.2 didn't work so I'm not sure if this is the problem.

Thanks for the help
