Ok, looks like that might be the way for me to at least get myself a
tarball to work with... where would I find the said tarball? :-)

I have jabber compiled - no sweat... what I'm trying to get compiled is
a no-longer-maintained jabber transport to icq.
Jabber is way super cool - if you've never played with it, I'd suggest
grabbing it and playing with it. All your IM accounts (Yahoo, AIM, ICQ,
MSN, even IRC) under one login.....

I do indeed have an account... and am compiling at the moment. It's
definitely harder to get something like this working when you don't have
root access... lol... I needed libsigc++ for libicq2000, and man... what
a bear to get it living nicely in my home directory!
I did finally force that in to working and got libicq stuff compiled,
now I'm putting jabber in my home directory, then I'll fight the icqv7
transport - which is the final thing I need. I just hope I don't run in
to too many library problems between Debian and Slackware. What glibc
version is Drizzle under?
Anyway... it's going... thanks for providing it for stuff like this.
:-)
