bararum Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Has anyone gotten bitchx to work in panther? I don't mean the fink install, but the actuall os x binary. Every time i try to run it i get a missing ncurses error, and when i try to install ncurses i get a missing strstream.h. so if anyone has been able to get it to work please say how here. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frod Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 the binary is probably for 10.2 or earlier versions of os x. have you tried compiling it from source? any reason why you don't want to do a fink install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPeedY_B Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Just went and grabbed it to try. I get the same [213:~/desktop/BitchX-1.0c19-MacOS-X-PPC Folder]davidker% ./BitchXdyld: ./BitchX can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libncurses.dylib.5 (No such file or directory, errno = 2) Trace/BPT trap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted February 15, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 15, 2004 It needs ncurses for the colored output. You may be able to exclude it with a ./configure --disable, but I'm not too sure. Personally, I'd recommend installing fink, because it has a sizable .patch it runs to fix some things on OS X.

sebaz Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 i installed BitchX using fink, it works np. However im trying to find where the configurations file is for specially my nick and to take that auto-connect when it starts up it ****es me off. I did /save and it save BitchX.sav on my home folder but i dont see anything there that lets me change my default nick and to stop that auto-connect at startup. Anyone willing to give some hints here. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. some of the configs don't like to save, just create a .bitchxrc file in your home directory and place the config commands in it that you need. it will all of the contents of this file at startup. i don't know about the auto-connect thing, but you can just type the server you want to connect to after BitchX in the command line. ie: BitchX irc.efnet.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
