I'm happy to report that the version of naim you compiled works on a 
virgin BL3 installation! (the qemu version) Great work and response 
timing! I did chmod it like you said, but didn't check 
properties/permissions first, so I'm not sure whether it was necessary. 
But I can report that, after chmod'ing, I simply ran the binary from where 
I gunzipped it, entered my login info, and I was online and able to chat. 
The colors were a little wierd, but functionality seemed normal. I'd say 
package it up and make it available for download. I can host it at my site 
if you'd like. Btw, it looks like you don't really need ncurses from 
Slack4 as I had been presuming: I didn't install anything at all prior to 
gunzipping, chmod'ing and running the binary. I should also mention that I 
ran it in a console, not an xterm.

Thanks again,
James
