IRC is Internet Relay Chat; it's a protocol. Some chat clients support it, some don't. Both GAIM and Kopete do. (Personally, I use XChat for IRC, but that's just me).

I've used GAIM with AOL IM, Novell Groupwise Messenger, IRC, and Yahoo. It also supports Gadu Gadu (whatever that is), Jabber, MSN, and a few others
.
I've used Kopete with IM and IRC. It supports some other protocols, but I don't have it at hand at the moment.

What specifically doesn't work?
