By looking at the error message, it all points to one problem.

At the base of the error, it dies because it is unable to set somthing up. This is because the module that provides somthing isn't loaded.

The errors regarding loading modules, proves thsi fact.

Within the module loading error,s, it gives the full path, it was trying to load the modules from.

The path given, sugests, you have compiled the eggdrop, then simply run a config file, wihtout compleing the last step of installation.

You have missed out the "make install" or "make install DEST=<path>" section of the installation.

There are two ways around this, complete the installation, or edit your config file and change the directory your modules are loaded from.

If you fail to install eggdrop correctly, you will have *.o files remaining, that clog disk space. SImply dleete these, or complete installation, and delete the original directory.

HI ppslim

Thanks for the reply.
I am still however getting the same issues. I have removed it reinstalled it again. I did have this set up ages ago however cant remember how I did it. I do however remember that I had to create a user which I can no longer remember how to do. Please can you point me in the right direction.
As for the error message
[15:24] Can't load modules irc: /home/chris/eggdrop1.6.13/modules/irc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have noticed that there is in fact no directory named modules never mind an irc.so file.

Regards

CK

I now get the following error message

STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type: /msg Fushty hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.

You have installed modules but have not selected an encryption
module, please consult the default config file for info.

Just follow the instructions at the end of the output.

about the missing encryption module, compile the bot with blowfishmodule if you haven't done that yet and make it available buy editing the conf file.

Darmoth · Post by **Darmoth** » Wed Jan 01, 2003 7:21 pm

btw, the #lamest.chan is the example chan in the example.conf.

either change this to the channel you want your bot in, or don't set up any staic channel in the conf and use just dynamic channels.
you can do that by using the .+chan command on the partyline.
