Best IRCD for Magick 1.4 would prollie be any version of dalnet's ircd=20
BEFORE bahamut (ie. the dreamforge series) ...

As for compiling ACE and Magick, its not all that hard, however there=20
are certain requirements for compiling ACE and Magick II -- since your=20
on linux, you dont need pth or zlib, you already have them installed.

The most important things when looking at compiling Magick II are:
1) The compiler you have -- it must be >=3D 2.95.x, I use 3.0.1 :)
2) Memory, you have to have a significant amount to compile (I'd say=20
about 128mb of REAL ram, and at least 64mb of swap).  You can compile=20
with less, however it can take a REAL long time to do so, as it would be=20
swapping parts of the compile continually.

As for ACE and Magick II, I'll list out some instructions for compiling=20
both of them, and installing Magick.

cd ACE_wrappers
export ACE_ROOT=3D$PWD
cd ace
ln -s config-linux.h config.h
cd ../include/makeinclude
ln -s platform_linux.GNU platform_macros.GNU
cd ../..
make
cd ..

Before doing the make, you may want to edit the Makefile, and limit the=20
amount of directories its oging to compile (ie. the DIRS =3D option) to=20
just ace, you dont need the rest, but it wont hurt.  I'm going to assume=20
  you're leaving the libACE.so file in the ACE_wrappers/ace directory,=20
so after the above ...

cd Magick-2.0b12
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PWD/../ACE_wrappers/ace
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./configure --with-acelib=3D$PWD/../ACE_wrappers/ace/libACE.so
	--with-aceinc $PWD/../ACE_wrappers
make
cd ..

Now you will have built ACE and Magick ... Magick DOES support make=20
install if you want to use it, but I usually dont, I usually use the=20
following instructions to setup my services directory:

mkdir services
cd services
mkdir bkup
mkdir logs
cp ../Magick-2.0b12/src/magick .
cp ../Magick-2.0b12/src/magick.debug .
cp ../Magick-2.0b12/src/magick_keygen .
cp ../Magick-2.0b12/docs/magick.ini .
cp -r ../Magick-2.0b12/lang .
cp -r ../Magick-2.0b12/files .
cd ..
cp Magick-2.0b12/helper/services* .

The last step there will copy 3 files (serviceschk, servicesbkup, and=20
servicescycle) to the parent directory of services (usually your home=20
directory).  You should edit these files, and put them into the crontab.=20
  They are used to restart services, backup the databases into a backup=20
directory, and copy, clear, and archive the logs respectively.

Anyway, above is a command-by-command instruction set on how to setup=20
ACE and Magick II on linux ... Its actually not all that hard really.

I hope it helps you, but as for Magick 1.x, its no longer being=20
maintained.  There are a few modified versions of Magick 1.4 out there=20
which may add supoprt for some more recent IRCD's, but I dont know where=20
these versions are (do a websearch), and I cant vouch for any of the=20
code in them.

Thanks,
