BitchX not working for me!

Postby mspalacios » Wed Oct 31, 2001 3:52 pm

I downloaded and installed BitchX 1.0c18 from this site and it's not working. Here's what it says after I run it:

Process [pid]
Using terminal type [xterm|vt100]
setup term failed: 0

So we'll be running in dumb mode...

And it exits.

As you can see, i've tried it from an xterm and from the OS X.1 terminal (vt100). Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Miguel

you're doing better than me. i get a screen filled with things like this:
$<5>$<3>$<2>$<2>$<2>$<2>$<2>$<2>$<3>
$<5>$<3> $<2> $<2>$<2>$<2>$<2>$<5>$<3> $<2>Ü?Ü$<2>$<2>$<2>$<2> $$<5>$<3> $<2>Ü°±±??Ü$<2>$<2>$<2>$<2> $<2>Ü$<2>$<2>
and then it exits with a bus error. granted, i can't remember if i download the binary from here or if that was one of my failed attempts to compile and install myself.

BitchX seems to be working fine for me (precompiled package downloaded from this site) but for signoffs and joins, the following is displayed:

??1;31m? SignOff user: #channel (message)

Is that junk on the left supposed to be the time? Does anyone else have this problem?

mine did that after i updated to 10.1.
to fix: go to your terminal preferences, shell, and change your text encoding. mine's ascii. works a bit better.

Hey, I've just downloaded BitchX-1.0c19-MacOS-X, and get the following error when I type ./BitchX

dyld: ./BitchX can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libncurses.dylib.5 (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

any ideas [img]images/icons/confused.gif"%20border="0[/img]

---Edit---
I'm downloading http://home.pacifier.com/~jdaniel/ncurses-5.2.pkg.tgz I'll report if it works

Hey, I installed ncurses, but my fonts are still all scrambled with $<2> like willies' were. any suggestions? Changing fonts to ASCII doesn't get rid of them...
