I recently switched my laptop over to Ubuntu Edgy after a hard drive failure. When I tried to install JBuilder 2005 again I got all kinds of errors about libc.s0.6 and libpthreads.so.0 etc. I would give you the exact error, but I did not think to post about it till now and therefore did not save the error message.
I found this on Borland's site and sure enough it fixes it.
Go to the directory where you extracted the downloaded file and:
$ cp install.bin install.bin.orig
$ cat install.bin.orig | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > install.bi
Here is a link to the issue on Borland's site.
My apologies. It seems the link was broken. It is all fixed now 
Lol, Well I guess the subject says it all eh? I will be filling in some info on here about the goingons of my IRC Bot. Tonight after I got home from work I started in on him again. Now that he can see all the commands from a server as well as use them I decided he needs to respond to some things from users. So I had to figure out how to implement this. What I came up with is a new class to handle PRIVMSG's. First it checks to see if the bot is recieving a command and if it is it checks against a list of commands that it knows (That would be the built in commands), if it does not know the command it is receiving the command is sent to the module parser to see if it is a command belonging to a module. The module part is the part that I have not figured out yet 
So there is an update in a nutshell. I figure what I just did cost me about an hour and a half of my time. Cheers
So the other day in my JAVA programming class I was just sitting there spacing out cause I've been done with the final project for about 2 weeks, and all the teacher was talking about was how to finish the final project, when I suddenly had the brilliant Idea to build myself an IRC Bot. I dunno why, I mean there are so many of them out there I could have just grabbed one and launched it but I wanted it to be mine. So I ran JBuilder and set myself to the task of building my own IRC Bot. 2.5 hours later I was ready to connect and guess what happened when I hit compile? It worked! Yes that actually suprised me. See I didn't know the IRC protocol before I started so I had no idea how to test the bot as I was building each part. Well turns out that I did everything right and Frank(As I named the bot) was able to successfully connect and join the room I usually reside in. Cool! I've got an IRC Bot. Now what? Well lets make Frank do something cool. This took a bit of time as I had to learn how messages get sent back and forth, but I eventually hit upon the right answer(With the help of the IRC RFC) and bam! He responded to a very limited number of commands. Hey this is pretty cool, but Frank was still to limited. So I started looking around the net at some other bots and talking with a few creators, namely Caskey, and soon realized that I needed to expand Frank alot more than he curently was. So I set myself to the task of learning and implementing the reply codes and the commands defined by the RFC. I wiped out virtually everything that I had done originally, but that's ok because he is going to work way better now. So as of now Frank is complete. He will join up with a room and 'lurk' there watching the action and will rejoin if he gets kicked out somehow. So the next step is to give Frank something to do. I'm going to build this part modularly so I can add commands to Frank anytime I feel like it and not have to reboot him. So I'm off to learn about dynamic class loading! Wish me luck, I'll keep you posted.
