To me it looks like you or the systems admin needs to verify your TCL install. It is looking for TCL 8.4 you may need to either INSTALL TCL or make sure it is setup properly so Eggdrop will install and run properly.

as i said i installed tcl 3 times already, i know its there

during the ./configure routine it says tcl found /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4.so or whatever the filename is iv tryed installing the tcl on my local account and with root iv tryed specifying where tcl is with the --with-tcllib commands, it fails at that spot no matter what

As root, you need to add the path to libtcl.so to the file /etc/ld.so.conf, you then need to run ldconfig.

You shoudl now be abel to compile without issue.
