I tried to install xchat-0.9.7 but the library libanel_applet.so.0 was required. Later I realised that its part of gnome. I have nothing against gnome but I am simply using KDE and I do not wish to download all these MEGABYTES through my expensive 33.6 bbs line just for that library. Is there a possibility to actually create a tiny package just with this library?
Red Hat ships GNOME as its default desktop environment, and xchat is a GNOME enabled IRC client. That is the reason for the requirement.
