has anyone used the irc client lately?
MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/IRC' user: '' password: ''
Using 4.3, it breaks with syntax errors at too many places for me to figure out how to correct on-the-fly.
Just wondering if anyone has used it and gotten it to work recently.

I didn't _use_ the client, but I happily loaded Network-IRC, -GUI, -Model, and -IRCTests.

There's missing methods (thought Monticello was supposed to catch that) and lots of strange little syntax errors having to do with individual characters and bytesymbols.

Have you tried to open preferences, and play with Compiler settings ? - allow block argument assignment - allow underscore assignment etc...

This is a quick dirty solution Recipe is In Monticello add http://www.squeaksource.com/Ladrillos Load Network-IRC-edc.11 Ignore complaints and you was in business
Work, I fix the funny member list trouble of yesterday
Enjoy and vote for me for next Board

Hi Nicolas, no I haven't. This is basically for my Newbies tutorials for Squeak and Friends, and if I have to start doing that, it is no longer a newbie tutorial. At this level, even using Monticello to load a new package is a big deal.
Besides I'm lazy, and fiddling with settings isn't a long term fix which is what the community needs in order to, say, attract IRC bot writers (a discussion on #programming@irc.freenode.net on the best language to write an IRC bot in prompted my interest in the package in the first place, and then I found that I had to debug the libraries before I could do a tutorial on how to bring up the simple client, letalone do a simple bot).

I suspect you're looking at the wrong package then! Try http://www.squeaksource.com/IRCBot out - I once knocked up a little bot that acted like a REPL - give it a Smalltalk expression and it evaluates it and returns the answer - in, if I recall correctly, maybe half an hour from cold start.

One possible strategy: load it in whatever version of Squeak it last loaded for you in, run the updates, test it, rinse repeat until you're at 4.3. If you're lucky it might just work (MC itself has changed some over the last couple years, etc. Every once in awhile walking the update path has been useful to me. Except when starting from before 4.1, the closure bootstrap can be bothersome unless you've got some time to deal with troubles.)
Nicolas' suggestions about Compiler prefs is good and worth trying first. If you're getting syntax errors, this really is the most likely culprit that I know of.
Most likely it's just going to need a few tweaks to work again.
FWIW I'm interested in getting the IRC client working again. I have a deficit of time, but I'll be watching the thread and I'll all do whatever I'm able to help.
Why not post your debug.log?

The compiler settings suggested are enabled by default in the 4.3 image, so no fussing is needed.
FWIW I have been loading the IRCe package in my images since 3.10 via SqueakMap without a problem.

Yes. I have Network-IRC-fc.10.7.6 working in 4.3 with some patching to the IRC software and LazyListMorph. I'd say that it's not at the total novice level to get working.
