+Q: I am running Linux and ngircd dies on startup with the follwing errors:
+   IO subsystem: epoll (hint size 100, initial maxfd 100, masterfd -1).
+   Cannot initialize IO routines: Function not implemented
+   Server isn't listening on a single port!
+   ngircd exiting due to fatal errors!
+A: epoll is only supported on 2.6 Linux kernels. Either use a 2.6 kernel, or
+   re-run configure with the --without-epoll parameter. After configure
+   completed, you should see select() being listed as IO backend:
+   '(I/O backend: "select()"').
