Don't hold your breath. I was using naim alot under BL2 and had a go at 
compiling it for BL1/3. Those versions use older libraries than BL2. My 
attempts were unsuccessful. I wrote the author for help and he asked me to 
send him some output from the failed compile--which I did--but I never 
heard back from him. That's been several months ago. So, unless someone 
onlist is up to compiling it statically (maybe against uclibc--David?), 
you won't be able to run naim under BL3. It's defeinitely the right chat 
client for BL. But the older libraries BL3 uses are the problem.

PS It uses ncurses too.
