set pidfile "pid.LamestBot"

set your pidfile name here and make sure it is of a filename your OS likes and you have write permission to wherever you set it to

There is nothing worng with your bot, and it should be functionign correctly.

The warning given, means it was unable to create a certain file, which contains the program ID number.

If it fails to write this file, items like "crontab" scripts may fail.

Are you running the eggdrop, under the same username as your compiled the bot with.

As for using "set pidfile", there is no need. Eggdrop will (and has in your case) built a default name to use. Changing this value, will msot likely only cause a failure to write to that filename as well.
