Hi Nicolas, no I haven't. This is basically for my Newbies tutorials for Squeak and Friends, and if I have to start doing that, it is no longer a newbie tutorial. At this level, even using Monticello to load a new package is a big deal.
Besides I'm lazy, and fiddling with settings isn't a long term fix which is what the community needs in order to, say, attract IRC bot writers (a discussion on #programming@irc.freenode.net on the best language to write an IRC bot in prompted my interest in the package in the first place, and then I found that I had to debug the libraries before I could do a tutorial on how to bring up the simple client, letalone do a simple bot).
I suspect you're looking at the wrong package then! Try http://www.squeaksource.com/IRCBot out - I once knocked up a little bot that acted like a REPL - give it a Smalltalk expression and it evaluates it and returns the answer - in, if I recall correctly, maybe half an hour from cold start.

has anyone used the irc client lately?

Using 4.3, it breaks with syntax errors at too many places for me to figure out how to correct on-the-fly.
Just wondering if anyone has used it and gotten it to work recently.
I didn't _use_ the client, but I happily loaded Network-IRC, -GUI, -Model, and -IRCTests.

There's missing methods (thought Monticello was supposed to catch that) and lots of strange little syntax errors having to do with individual characters and bytesymbols.
