i want to use mIRC on linux, i have got it going in wine but cant connect to any servers.

Dont say use X-Chat cos i want to script and for that i need mIRC, i have searched all over for an alternative and im using wine as a last resort.

Thankyou.

no mate mIRC is more widespread and has its own scripting thing for popups and that.

Both the mIRC and the Wine pages report mIRC running on a standard Wine install.
It sucks that the author simply refuses to port mIRC to Linux though!!

ahh damn

the install says it will install to /usr/lib/xchat/plugins but this doesnt exist on my system. what is redhat doing to linux? everything is different. oh well how do i find out where my xchat plugins go so i can edit the make file?

on various ocassions i have tried to install various versions of wine myself, and only on one occasion have i succeeded. red hat comes with it preinstalled. yes wine is shit and runs barely anything just the same, and no i have never tried to run mirc in it, but i think ditching red hat isn't the answer here.

sorry, that ended up a bit confused...

X-Chat plugins are stored in .xchat in your home dir  together with all the config files.
