Prerequisite: Turn off all instances you know off (that you see).
First, check if there are any stale licq process(es) running. Try for
example:
~js>ps -aux | grep licq
~js>js 543 0.0 2.9 11900 7560 p3 S Tor09pm 6:57.20 licq
If anything resembling this appears, kill those processes.
Second, check in .licq/ if there are any file called licq.pid. If you
find it then remove it.
Now there shouldn't be any licq (belonging to your user) running, and
none of them should have a stale pid-file (lock file) left.
Try running licq again and it should now be ok.
Good luck!
