It's good to hear it's functioning now. I realized the installation steps for a tar.gz file again: start by opening Terminal, move into the directory containing the archive, then execute the commands: tar -xzf archive-name.tar.gz cd archive-name ./configure make sudo make install. This is exactly how I installed ZNC on my Ubuntu VPS previously.
Distros often replace older libraries with newer ones, leaving some legacy software outdated. While dependencies can usually be installed, picking the right ones can be tricky.
