failure to build/run on a fresh system about euircbot HOT 4 CLOSED

This looks like an error in node-irc (which is moderately unsurprising). Are you sure you have run both ./installModules.sh and npm install in the repo directory?

To sync over the information we discovered (@hfukada, correct me if I'm getting this wrong):

This was trying to connect to an alternative IRC server implementation that might or might not be conforming to the spec.
This was entirely a node-irc library issue, nothing this codebase can fix short of changing irc library or fixing the irc library elsewhere.
I have https://github.com/euank/EuIrcBot-core which uses slate-irc instead of node-irc and @hfukada will test that at some ponit to see if it connects and, if so, we'll have a path forwards of moving to use that bot or, if that's too far out, switching this to use slate-irc in this one.

Just wanted to sync that information here as well so it's clear what's left here.

Looking at this in more detail, it's almost assuredly either a non-spec-conforming IRC server or a bug in node-irc's message parsing. It doesn't look too bad to debug; if you are interested, @hfukada, I can make you a node-irc build with the right debug output.

Since I don't think this is actually a bug in this codebase and we're short on debug information, I'm closing.

Feel free to reopen if you've got more information!
