[Nottingham] irssi compilation error

Hello,

That seems to indicate you're missing Perl's Config module. Either use
your favoured package manager or the CPAN[1] module to install
it. Alternatively, install it manually. There's also a chance that
irrsi just can't find it, so if you're certain it is there, your best
bet is probably to symlink it into the place where irssi expects to
find it.

These errors are likely follow-on problems from the previous
errors. Make should probably have generated those executables.

Irssi might not need this, but did you run a plain "make" before this?

[1] Try "perl -MCPAN -e shell"; if you've not used it before, just hit
enter until it asks you for mirrors, choose the appropriate ones, and
then issue "install Config".
