Error during compiling

Post by Tomsen »

./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [modegg] Error 127

This is the error that i'm getting, i've been looking around in the forum and i've read that i should add
/usr/local/lib to the id.so.conf file in /etc, but i do not have that file. So what do i do ??
I'm using TCL 8.3 on a Redhat 9.0
These two lines, shouldn't that be enough??
TCLINC=/usr/local/include/
TCLLIB=/usr/local/lib

BTW i'm very new in the linux world :)

If you are on a UNIX BSD platform, you might want
to try using 'make static' instead of 'make'.
On some BSDi unix servers, static compiling is required.
Because of the method in which the eggdrop was coded,
the bot does not always detect the need for "static libraries",
and thus builds without the static setting when it's necessary.

To be safe, you will need to totally remove the bot you are trying to compile,
and completely start over from scratch at the "tar -xvf" process.

You will need to start over so you can do a ./configure,
because a 'make clean' doesn't always work.

also, use the search feature on this forum to
look for answers from similar problems.

I'm using Redhat 9.0, i'm guessing that isn't UNIX BSD, and i did write that i have been looking around the forum and i've have found some answers to the problem, but since i do not havde the file that alle the answers are talking about, then it isn't helping me... Therefor i posted a new thread...
