I'm not sure if my message (below) went through, it didn't seem to post. Attempting again. Sorry if duplicated.
Subject: Instant Messenger (CLI-based multi-protocol) Hi, I have been wanting to switch from a GUI "meta"-type chat (uses Yahoo, AIM, etc.) to terminal/CLI-based. I came across "centericq" (apparently it works with multiple protocols) though when trying to install it I get... $ sudo make ===> centericq-4.9.11p0 is marked as broken: requires update but new version has issues. I'm not a computer guru... don't really know how to resolve that issue. I'm running OpenBSD 4.1 and that install attempt was straight out of 4.1's unaltered ports tree. ( /usr/ports/net/centericq ) I'm wondering if I have somehow messed up my ports (not sure how, I set them up exactly as instructed) :( or perhaps the actual application in the 4.1 ports just comes like that, "broken". I hope not. Is there a better program out there somewhere that is CLI-based for using chat with Yahoo, AIM, MSN, ICQ, IRC, and Jabber? (Or is there a way to get "centericq" to install/work?) Better yet... one with encryption options? Thank you very much for your help! Sean
