Problem compiling eggdrop

Post by Ozh »

Hello

Got a problem compiling latest eggdrop

My shell provider hasnt got any TCL lib.
Fine : I've downloaded the latest Activestate precompiled binaries, created in my $HOME 2 directories, ~/lib/tcl and ~/lib/include, in which I've put the libs and the includes

Now, compiling the eggdrop :
- ./configure --with-tcllib=/home/ozh/lib/tcl/libtcl8.4.so --with-tclinc=/home/ozh/include/tcl/tcl.h
... goes fine.

- make config
... goes fine.

- make
... goes fine ... except that the final launch of the eggdrop fails : error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Any clue ? Of course, libtcl8.4.so is present and readable.

Am I pointing to correct files (libtcl8.4.so & tcl.h) ?

(edit : how the hell did I end in the Shell Forum ? ... Sorry for this, please move in appropriate section.)

well, I'm not sure of myself, but --with-tcllib= and --with-tclinc= must have directory and not file...

Till I answer it* or someone else does, try using a precompiled eggdrop for that specific architecture. You can find lots at Johoho's eggdrop repository

*I can't answer it because I'm not sure and I don't have my manuals with me plus I rely on them these days beause I haven't been having the time to concentrate on eggdrop lately. Also the fact that my b4st4rd internet connection still has to be installed on my phone line and I'm using an Employment centre's PC. (The manager keeps telling me to use this PC for employment purposes only :()
Dormant egghead.
