ICQ Login problems
It seems the ICQ servers has started to reject old clients. Several clients (included Licq) were blocked from logging on.
Latest SVN version (as of r6387) of Licq contains an update to allow Licq to log on again.
For users of Licq 1.3.4 or 1.3.5, the following patches should get you back online:
Login patch for Licq 1.3.4
Login patch for Licq 1.3.5
Patch instructions
1) Download and unpack Licq source
2) Go to licq directory and run "patch -p0 < licq-1.3.5-logonfix.patch"
3) Build as normal (./configure and make)
4) Install. (If you already had the same Licq version installed, just copying src/licq to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin should be enough.)
