Irssi installation

So i just finished installing irssi on the server. Had some problem with ftp ports not opened which made it quite hard to install one of the prerequisites called pcre-8.00 which could only be fetched from ftpsources. After some waiting on charlie to open up it finally installed like a charm today.

I also noticed that "whereis irssi"will give the wrong location (/chinese/irssi) so had to do some digging in the /usr/ports/ directory.

  1. cd /usr/ports/irc/irssi
  2. make (takes awhile)
  3. make install
  4. make clean
  5. done
  6. Have charlie open up irc ports so we can connect to servers
Screen was installed previous to irssi but there were no problems with that so not worth its on post.

Next up apache! But first some php otherwise mos will lynch me.
