Hi and welcome,

what is it that you want to do EXACTLY please...

[mehnihma]

I want to install irc server on sme and dont know how, can you help me with that and tell me which irc is best to install?
And I'm new in linux so can you direct me where to find explanations of commands and examples for SME, I have downloaded manual but can't find that what interests me.

I think for SME server irssi would be the best irc client to use (if you mean irc server than I have no idea).

I am currently in the process of installing it.
step 1)
download ncurses from
ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-5.4.tar.gz
scp the file to your SME server machine
scp ncurses-5.4.tar.gz root@SMEserver:~/
type in your root password
log on via ssh to your machine as root and type
./configure
make
make install


step 2)
download the source code
http://www.irssi.org/?page=download
selected to download the glib library automatically
log on via ssh to your machine as root and type
./configure
make
make install


Keep in mind these steps may not work as I am currently in the middle of compiling irssi, but it hasn't spat any errors out yet.
I'll keep you posted if it works

edit:
works perfectly
