That's odd, since just about all recent versions of licq practically require Qt 2.1. Note that the Debian package is rather out of date, latest prerelease is 0.85 beta 2, latest stable is 0.81. IIRC, 0.81 was the first to depend on features/bugfixes in the Qt libs, which may explain why the deb remains at 0.80 (until an official qt 2.1 deb appears). Probably the best thing to do in this situation is to compile licq from source. Either apt-get source, make an entry in the changelog, 'debian/rules binary' and dpkg -i the results; or just install the latest into /usr/local. Either way, that should fix the dependancy problems. (If you want to try the SSL features of 0.85, you'll need an updated libssl09 -- licq needs functions introduced in 0.9.5. More info available on request) Technically, it's not even necessary to edit the changelog, but i've run into problems with the system wanting to replace my version with the identically-numbered version (yes, i checked epochs) from the Debian mirror, unless i properly set up a local mirror and put that first into sources.list. So, i tend to add an entry explaining what i've done (good practice anyway) and give it a version number .0001 greater (e.g. 0.80-3 to 0.80-3.0001). > That licq-plugin-qt2 isn't actually a dependency, from the looks of things, > of Licq, but when I run Licq without it, I get: > 23:41:39: [ERR] Unable to load plugin (qt-gui): /usr/lib/licq/licq_qt-gui.so: > cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. You _could_ use one of the other UI plugins; there's a few GTK-based and one that runs in a console. i've never tried any of them, so i can't speak for how well they work. I don't know if they've been Debianized yet. -- finger for GPG public key.
