at this moment i am using regular irc client to chat with my friends. Now at my workplace they disabled installation of .exe's so it is not possible to install any app on the my workplace machine.
Since I have putty on floppy I can use this to connect true SSH to my box at home, now I was thinking...
If I can set-up a console chat client I can still chat with my friends, ( my boss is not complaining when using putty, so I can turn the chat client of when he comes by)
I did here of an chat application called bilbob or something .. I did try to install lmme-0.6.4 but that will not install on my box, I am using RH 8.0 , did some lookup work and it seems that lmme cannot be installed on RH 8.0 for on or the other bizar reason.
I am using
* RH 8.0
* kernel 2.4.18-14 ( going for the upgrade one of the days )
Did install BitchX and getting this when running it
root@rabbit waste]# tar xzfv BitchX-1.0c19-Linux-glibc2+Tcl1.5.tar.gz
[root@rabbit bin]# /usr/local/bin/BitchX
/usr/local/bin/BitchX: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.3.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@rabbit bin]# /usr/local/bin/scr-bx
/usr/local/bin/scr-bx: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.3.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@rabbit bin]# /usr/local/bin/wserv
/usr/local/bin/wserv: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.3.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Did install the tcl 8.3 rpm like told but still got the same error
On the page of tcl 8.3 they are telling that it provide libtcl8.3.so. Now it seems that BitchX is looking for a file libtcl8.3.so.1 , shut it be created by myself or omething then
thjer'es also xchat which has a console based interface as well, also ircii and others simply installing tcl should be a doddle really. don't give up so easily...

Rep:
It should really be easy from now on, become root with "su -" and run "ldconfig -v". This command will take care of the library 'registering' on the system.
You could probably solve your initial problem too.

Try finding an exe program you can open like "notepad.exe" or "winword.exe" Then rename the exe program you have to that name - ie instead of "irc.exe" rename it "notepad.exe" and run it.
(it depends on your version of windows but there is a good chance it will work)
