I've done some digging around and I'm aware that there is a problem with
compiling BitchX 1.0c19 (ircii-pana-1.0c19.tar.gz) on a stock Fedora Core
1 installation. The closest I've come to a solution was this message

Sounds like gcc-3.2.x doesn't like BithcX's source. This should be
trivial to fix manually, though. Look for something like
#define STUSER18 "stuser18"
#define PAREN "("
printf(STUSER18 PAREN);
and change it to
printf("%s%s\n", STUSER18, PAREN);

I've poked around in the source and I'm unable to make these types of
changes (I'm not a developer, just a "technical user"). Is anyone aware
of a patch that will get this software building on FC1 or have a binary
rpm that can be installed that works? Thanks!
