Re: ircd on a SGI box?

First, it's ircd, not irciid.
I have tested the latest 2.9.x versions in IRIX-5.3. At least on
my system there were some problems with gcc, and I ended up to
using cc compiler by SGI. In IRIX-5.3/Makefile there's special
CFLAGS option for irix, which should be enabled by removing the
comment ('#') mark in the beginning of line.
Here's a quick procedure:
cd /path/to/irc2.9.2
rm -rf IRIX-5.3
setenv CC cc		(force cc to be used instead of gcc)
make
cd IRIX-5.3
vi Makefile		(edit and enable the CFLAGS)
... edit config.h as needed and continue according to doc/INSTALL.

In order to setup, configure and run IRC server one should have
at least basic programming experience, IMHO. Seeing your config.h
error makes me recommend you to give up with the server and
leave it to your sysamdins for example.
