Hi toofast,

I have a couple of suggestions for how make your tutorials more readable / useful.
First of all, assume that your readers will not already know what the software you are describing can be used for.
For example, even after visiting http://www.psybnc.at/ I still don't know what this piece of software is meant for.
I can already tell by your description that it is some kind of server software because you talk about configuring a listening port. I can also tell that it has something to do with IRC. So I'm taking a wild guess - it's an IRC server.
So, begin your tutorials with a high level overview of the software's capabilities and do not let the readers of your tutorials second guess basic stuff about the software.

Configuration File (null) not found, aborting
Run 'make menuconfig' for creating a configuration or create the file manually.

i run ./make menuconfig but shows a menu.. but i don't know what to do in this step..

i'm waiting..

make menuconfig doesn't always work, it depends on some extra ssh stuff. I've ran a bnc for almost three years, I definitely suggest -SBNC.

I would suggest taking out the -v in tar, and after the cd, just ./configure, make, make install and if ./configure doesn't, edit the psybnc.conf.
