I don't know ircd but in Linux
the user has to have the directory/files as his or a
belong to a gruop that has executable rights.


Thanks Gerald.
You were correct, it was just as simple as assigning the correct directory permissions. Got the irc server working nicely now, just in case anyone else wants to, here's the pattern I followed: 

***
        download the tar.gz from sourceforge
        tar -zxvf source.tar.gz
        cd ircd_directory

        sh configure
        make config
        make
        make install

        chmod -R g+rw /usr/local/lib/ircd
        chown -R user_name /usr/local/lib/ircd

        ircd
***

Best,
Kam.
