Error trying to run

Post by Conan »

whenever i try to start eggdrop, i get the following error.

Code: Select all

bash-2.05$ ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf
./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
however, when the sysadmin does a

Code: Select all

locate "libtcll.so.0"
it pops up as existing in /usr/lib/libtcl.so.0

someone said something about needing to point libs to somewhere where eggdrop can find them... but i dont understand what that means.

Thank you for any help.
