Depending on whose server you're using, I would guess that you failed to correctly define the DPATH and SPATH. The first refers to the path to the data files like ircd.conf and ircd.motd. The second refers to the path of the binary. Your problem is complicated by the fact that -d isn't actually debugging info. :) Assuming you're installing ircd into your home directory, try a setup like this: /home/yourlogin/ircd/conf /home/yourlogin/ircd/bin Then you put the ircd.conf and ircd.motd in ~/ircd/conf, and the binary in ~/ircd/bin. Then, in include/config.h you define DPATH as /home/yourlogin/ircd/conf and SPATH as /home/yourlogin/ircd/bin/ircd. If all that doesn't work, put the ircd.conf and ircd binary in the same directory and start it like this: ./ircd -d . (with the period).
