Problems installing TCL

[ProXy]

Hi,

i decided to rent a server with root access, and therefor wanted to install an eggdrop on this server. When I tried to make"./configure", an error occured, telling me that I have to install TCL. So I installed from the Source to /usr/local/tcl. I also used the "export" command in this way:

Code: Select all

export TCLLIB=$HOME/lib
export TCLINC=$HOME/include
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib 

After that I could compile and install the eggdrop. But when I wanted to run it, I got this error:

Code: Select all

./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

When I rewrite the lines above using "export" I can also start the eggdrop, but after some minutes the same problem occurs.
I am running SuSE 7.2 and installed TCL 8.4.0! I simply used "./configure --prefix=/usr/local/tcl" but no other options! Is this the mistake?

It would be nice if anyone could please help me, and I am sorry, if this post shouldn`t be in this board!

First things first, eggdrop will not run as root.

Second, if you have root access, there is another thing you should do when installing Tcl.

Run "ldconfig" after installiing Tcl.

There should be no need to export the environment variables after this. THough eggdrop will need a recompile.

I installed TCL as root, and wanted to run eggdrop as user process...

I already tried to run ldconfig, but I get this error message:

Code: Select all

p15107354:~ # ldconfig
ldconfig: /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 is not a symbolic link
