How did you get the plugins to build? I got LIcq .70 (the stable version)
to build, but couldn't get ANY plugins to build to it was basically
worthless. What did you do to get the plugins to build? I am hoping that
a new version will fix the problem, but currently, and version I try
(including .61 which is what started the problem) will act the same. I am
hoping .70 will fix it, but don't have too much hope. I've re-complied
and re-installed .61 about 3 or 4 times and the problem hasn't gone away.
