I installed BitchX off of www.rpmfind.net and didnt have a problem.

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 posted to another list:

Hi all

Has anyone installed BitchX ( ircii-pana-1.0c19.tar.gz ) on Fedora core 1 ?
the "/configure" part was clean but it breaks on gmake

For some reason im getting


status.c:1245:14: pasting "status_user18" and "(" does not give a valid preprocessing token
status.c:1246:14: pasting "status_user19" and "(" does not give a valid preprocessing token
gmake[1]: *** [status.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/BitchX/source'
gmake: *** [BitchX] Error 2



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);

Cheers,

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!
