OK...the new KVIrc version 2 is awesome!
Now how did I get it to run, you may ask. I had the same
problems everyone else had when I tried to install the rpm.
Well, I went and got the QT2.1.1 and upgraded my existing
QT2.
Then I got the RPM and using gnorpm I installed it.
Same problem as everyone else....doesn't work.
I Checked the configure and it showed the QT2 directories
in the wrong place I corrected it in hopes it would re-read
it the next load and then run. No go.
I uninstalled the rpm and went back to the site and got the
tar.gz instead...since pathing was the problem I hoped I could
temporarily set my QTDIR and create a version specific to
my machines configuration. It worked! And it is awesome.
I am online in KVIrc 2 as we speak!
Maybe this will work for the rest of you as well.
Read the instructions for the installation of the tar.gz on the
web site ...that really helped alot. Although I am using Bash
and I set the QTDIR slightly differently then they suggested.
Have fun,
Bambi
