One of our client needed sBNC to be installed on his dedicated server, here is how we helped him setup sBNC on his server.

Downloaded the source, kindly see below:

wget http://mirror.shroudbnc.info/sbnc-current.tar.gz
tar -zxf sbnc-current.tar.gz
cd sbnc-1.1
ls
./configure

Here we got an error of c++ compiler:

configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables

To fix this, you need to install c++ compiler on your system. I did it using yum:

yum install gcc-c++

After this is done, again giving the below command to install it:

./configure # without SSL-support
./configure --enable-ssl=yes # with SSL-support
make
make install

Now, if you need web interface, you will have to do this:

cd tickle
./configure
make
make install

Got errors while “make” , TCL was not installed on the server – you can install TCL on your dedicated server by doing this:

wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/tcl/tcl8.4.13-src.tar.gz
tar xfvz tcl8.4.13-src.tar.gz
cd tcl8.4.13/unix
./configure
make
make install

Then, you can proceed for the configuration by the conftool:

cd sbnc/sbnc
./conftool

Here, you can set the port number, username and password.

Start sbnc by:

./sbnc
