Installing KMESS

I downloaded KMESS and saw this in the README file.

Quote:

Installation Tip:
=================

In order for KMess to work properly, it must be configured with
your KDE3 directory. In order to do this using Mandrake 8.2, for
instance, configure with:

./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3

I'm told that with RedHat 7.2 and kde3 installed from rpms, it should be

./configure --prefix=/usr

Basically, we're talking about the parent directory of /share/apps/k~bunch of kapps~

Not doing this will result in emoticons being displayed as black
boxes. Then type

But how do I configure this thing for slack?

Hey Nukem,

Just download the .tgz, you can find it here.

To install, simply do:

cd /dir/with/pkg
su
[password]
installpkg kmess-1.2.1-i686-1.tgz

And that is it

Hope I helped.

Peace.

But isn't this kmess 1.2? The one that I'm talking about is 1.3. hmmmm anyways, I'm installing what you told me. Not the one that I downloaded from the website. Thanks.

BUT NOW LOOK AT THIS
