Hi,
I'm failing to get ngIRCd 21 running on Minix 3.2.1/x86.
# ./configure […] ngIRCd 21 has been configured with the following options:

anyone experienced sth like that before? I tried to set manually a suitable ServerGID but to no avail.

Strange, because it seems to work for me:

BUT.
But when I try to connect a client, I get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error, so basically it doesn't work :-(
This is Mini 3.2.1, clang version 3.1 (trunk 146353). My Minix is running in a KVM virtual machine.
I used the following commands for testing:
$ CC=cc ./configure --prefix=$HOME $ make $ src/ngircd/ngircd -npf doc/sample-ngircd.conf
$ cc --version | head -n 1 clang version 3.1 (trunk 146353)
Hm hm hm …
And it seems not to depend on the compiler, I get the same segmentation fault using GCC:
$ gcc --version | head -n 1 gcc (GCC) 4.4.6
So there seems to be a bigger problem on Minix :-/
