Request: psyBNC

[SkyNet_]

Hello I was wondering if this could be added in the backports package:

http://www.psybnc.info/

Unrotunately I couldn't compile it...

That would be nice. I also could not get it to run, needed ncurses and no ammount of installing helped.

Just install ncurses-dev and it should compile fine, just did it yesterday (on pure debian though).

This needs the ncurses library. If it is not available, menuconf wont work. If you are using curses, use make menuconfig-curses instead.

For me it just dosn't work :(
opened new thread for my problem here (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1414133#post1414133) since this is off topic.

I would also LOVE to see a properly-compiled PsyBNC in the repos. See my post here regarding the glibc problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=471811

That being said, this will probably allow you to use make menuconfig and compile it (with warning mentioned in post linked to above):


sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev ncurses-base ncurses-bin ncurses-term libncurses5 libncurses5-dev
