Sure!

Yes, there is definitely a GUI plugin and it's qt4-gui that you've=20
already tried to build.

Unfortunately, there is a build error in Licq 1.8.1. If you apply the=20
following patch you should be able to build it:

https://github.com/licq-im/licq/commit/f288367c758de16fc013c6f4c9851ca85813=
eb59


You can specify on the command line which plugin(s) to use, but if you=20
don't specify anything it will find and start the GUI automatically if=20
it is installed.


I don't know the available Ubuntu versions, but I know that Licq 1.8.1=20
is available in at least somewhere so depending on which version you are=20
running you might be able to just install it without having to built it=20
yourself. (Just remember to install the package licq-plugin-qt4 to get=20
the GUI as well.)
