It's a shame this seems dead

[Anonymous]

It's the only project of it's kind .. I was able to build it and install it, it compiles fine but when I launch it I get a useless "Aborted" message .. I've seen on the developer's site ( which is only accessible via google cache ) to run it with valgrind to get any useful debugging information but it's not useful to ME .. and with the developer seemingly gone from the planet.. I'm not sure how to proceed..

I might just see if I can use perl instead.

But for what it's worth..

Platform: Debian Lenny
PHP: 5.2.6
Libpurple: I've tried the version that comes in the lenny repositories and I've downloaded & compiled the latest..  no change
