Hmm...that's a problem. There is no /usr/lib/xchat/. And, according to the RPM, it installs absolutely nothing in /usr/lib/xchat/. Also, there are no .so's in ~/.xchat. I don't need perl support, so I have no problem moving it...if I could find it. Did I do something wrong in installing the RPM to not get /usr/lib/xchat/? I did an rpm -Fvh to install over the old version (1.8) that I had. Matt Thompson -- "And isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony, anyway?
