Can reproduce here. Should we have the packager taken out and
shot? Ummm I have a better idea, let's ask for a refund. ;-}
Yes it looks like the rpm needs to be repackaged. I can compile
from the tarball and it works but if I build from the src.rpm or
use the binary rpm... I reproduce the behavior of which you
speak.
Get out your distro CDs and add a few packages, like the libs
that have -devel- in the name and make sure you have a version of
the compiler for g++ to point to. Alternatively, go to
www.everybuddy.com and download the rpm. You cannot find chat
rooms as easily, but you have access to Yahoo, MSN, AIM, and ICQ
in one program. I know that rpm works, and if you have an
addiction to or friends on any of those services, you can use it
until someone replaces the package.
