Hi,

I have been wanting to switch from a GUI "meta"-type chat (uses Yahoo, AIM,
etc.) to terminal/CLI-based. I came across "centericq" (apparently it works
with multiple protocols) though when trying to install it I get...

$ sudo make
===>  centericq-4.9.11p0 is marked as broken: requires update but new version
has issues.

I'm not a computer guru... don't really know how to resolve that issue.

I'm running OpenBSD 4.1 and that install attempt was straight out of 4.1's
unaltered ports tree.

( /usr/ports/net/centericq )

I'm wondering if I have somehow messed up my ports (not sure how, I set them
up exactly as instructed) :( or perhaps the actual application in the 4.1
ports just comes like that, "broken". I hope not.

Is there a better program out there somewhere that is CLI-based for using chat
with Yahoo, AIM, MSN, ICQ, IRC, and Jabber?

(Or is there a way to get "centericq" to install/work?)

Better yet... one with encryption options?

Thank you very much for your help!

Sean
