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! -- Med vänlig hälsning, Cheers!
