You should have already have X-Chat installed, and if you are using Mandrake it was a binary (like an RPM). Indeed, even if you skipped that for some reason (newbiez should all do full installs of Linux if possible to get everything) then you should be able to install it from the CD. Search on the CDs for rpm files, look for one that looks like this:-
x-chat.4.9.15.i386.rpm
or something like that
make sure you are in the directory containing the right rpm (should be /mnt/cdrom/RPMS or something) and then use this command:-
rpm -Uvh x-chat.4.9.15.i386.rpm
DONT compile from source code unless you know what you are doing, and how to fix problems if they arise.
In any case, did you check you don't have X-chat already installed?
rpm -q x-chat
would have told you,
or
whereis x-chat
As to your other question, I already answered that above:-
x-chat.4.9.15.i386.rpm

1) X-Chat. It should already be installed. There is a #3dspotlight channel on starchat.
