Licq in slackware 8.1

hia people, i was wondering if anyonw has gotten licq working on slackware 8.1 yet.

when i install the current cvs i get a QT error when i run it and when i install version 1.0.4 i just get errors when im connecting saying that no servers are selected...........


thanks in advance

I am not familiar with the product myself, but a QT problem could be that the package requires QT 2. Slack 8.1 is based on QT 3. It is possible as I understand it to have both QT2 and QT3 on the same system in two different directories. You will probably have to download QT2 and setup the install manually for a different directory. If you have the Slack 8.0 Source CD you could try the QT2 source files there.

I ran into the same problem myself. You might get it to work fetching
some old QT libary.
However I decided to test out the current version of Everybuddy
(support AIM, ICQ, MSN aswell) worked fine, but dont think about
getting the old stable version running.

I had the same problem. just download qt 2.3.whatever and it should all work. but on this topic, once i got this to work, whenever i try to connect to a server in licq, it tells me it cant connect and that the server field is empty. i check in options, and sure enough, there is nothing in the part where it has servers listed.

this is with licq 1.0.4, im going to try cvs now to see if its different but any help would be great!

I've got licq working from cvs on 8.1, don't forget the cvs part, if it won't compile today then it might tomorrow.
And for those who like this sort of thing sms is working on my install.

what about gnomeicu ? it looks ok to me ... altough i never manage to work with it .

Also, licq 1.0.4 can't send message (not even send thru server), so you better grab the most current (development stage) version. I did and I have no problem install, and so far it's all good.

ok then cool, maybe todays cvs wont give me that qt error it was giving me before, out of intrest, did the guys who got it working install qt2 before hand, and did you get it to dock with kde3?

I'm not using qt2 and neither should you if your trying to compile licq from cvs.

nope..... i still get this error when i run it
15:17:44: [ERR] Unable to load plugin (qt-gui): /usr/local/lib/licq/licq_qt-gui.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

does anyone know what the problem is?

Edit ./licq/licq.conf and change the Plugin1 line to Plugin1 = kde-gui

got cvs running with qt 2.3 fine

just had to compile them both myself is all

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANX Aussie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

works like a charm!!!!!!!!!!

Your welcome Filsta

You could always add the icq plugin to gaim...
