Chris H Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Just tried to add an IRC account to Kopete but there doesn't seem to be any mention of IRC in the Kopete I'm using. Kopete 0.60.3 Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 It could be that the version packaged and installed didn't have IRC support compiled into it when it was packaged. I used to use gaim/pidgin for irc, but had too many problems with connecting or not being able to reconnect or disconnect properly that in the end I just moved to xchat for irc. There are other alternatives than xchat too that work more or less the same. Not saying that kopete would do the same even if it had irc support compiled into it. If kopete doesn't seem to have the support, you could do one of two things: 1. Install xchat or something similar (easier) 2. Remove kopete and then compile your own manually. Personally, I'd go for option 1, but it depends what you prefer really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Ta for the likely explanation. I'll go xchat, used it before so no issues there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
