BUG: xchat2 not displayed properly

[schmidt_r@…]

XChat2 doesn't show any user in the user list and also the field for number of ops and users remains empty. Then it doesn't give me tabs even though I want some. ;-)

OS ist Mac OS 10.4.2 with dp 1.100.

Have the same problem, running on MacOS X 10.3.9 and DP 1.101, did an upgrade of glib2 and gtk2 just before and builded xchat2 2.4.5_0+darwin_7+ipv6

X-Chat does only open the server tab, but not any channel tabs. I was not able to connect to the Freenode IRC network, but could connect to an other irc network, which showed some strange behavior (GARBAGE messages). I got similar errors as reported on bug report "xchat-2.4.5 fails to open new channel tabs" [1]. Found through the official X-Chat Webiste at [2].

So this is not really a problem of DP, but one of X-Chat. As it seems to be fixed in the cvs version of X-Chat.

xchat2 2.4.4_0+darwin_7+ipv6 is still working in my DP setup.

Probably for the moment it would be good to change the version in the Portfile back to 2.4.4 until a patch is available from X-Chat.

I just checked in patches that should fix this (it worked for me when I tested it). Please try it and let me know if you run into any problems.

Then you've got problems elsewhere. The fixes I committed fixed the problem for me and a few others that tried it, so I'm not sure what to tell you...

Did you do an uninstall/reinstall of the port or an upgrade? If you did an upgrade, try uninstalling and reinstalling instead.

Yesterday I did a complete reinstall of dp including xchat2. dp wasn't able to fetch the sources for xchat2, so I did download them from ftp and moved them into the appropriate directory. Then it compiled and installed properly. I changed nothing exept the gtk theme. But this shouldn't be the problem. It should work but it doesn't.
