Cant find libtcl8.4.so?

Trying to install eggdrop 1.6.15, but when it does the make install, I get the following error:

./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [install-start] Error 127

I'm running TCL 8.4.3.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

This is caused by a incomplete install of Tcl.

You need to edit /etc/ld.so.conf and place a entry pointing to the path of the Tcl lib.

Once this is done, you need to run ldconfig as root.

Tried recompiling eggdrop three times and it still had the same problem, even after editing the ld.so.conf. So I manually searched for the .so file and found it and put the correct path in the ld.so.conf file. It wasn't in the default spot...weird.
