[IRCServices] Services 5.0.42 error in compiling

[Craig McLure]

hmm, i've downloaded the GCC source and configured with --prefix=/home/craig causing it to compile binaries into my user area, from there, configged the ircservices ./configure to use those binaries, maybe you could do the same.

As a note, what was said about FreeBSD 5.x being unstable seems to just be an excuse NOT to update, 5.x is currently more stable than 4.x and seeing as they are classed as official releases, i doubt the FreeBSD teams would release unstable distros with -RELEASE assigned to them.
