hello,
I am trying to install an eggdrop on my dedicated server. I have tried this with 3 versions of eggdrop: 1.6.15, 1.6.17, 1.5.8.
when I try to do the ./configure, it tells me that I need to install tcl which I do following these procedures: http://www.eggfaq.com/docs/eggdrophelp.html. And it works fine.
But then I try to do ./configure --with-tcllib=$HOME/tekzone/tcl8.4.7/unix/libtcl8.4.a --with-tclinc=$HOME/tekzone/tcl8.4.7/generic/tcl.h
With the 1.6.x version, it tells me that my tcl version is too old and with the 1.5.8, it tells me that I didnt type what I just typed.
Please help me.

Tcl installation...
No idea mate. The help page lists two different configure lines to use for different versions, and says that the TCL library might be in a different directory under different operating systems. make sure it's the right library- you might be linking to an old library instead of the shiny new one you installed.
maybe you installed an old version of TCL. try reinstalling the one for 1.6-
ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_4/ ... src.tar.gz
the last option is excluding the extra flags on the compile line- if you installed it as root or under your account (or TCL is otherwise a shared resource), the eggdrop configuration should be able to find it on it's own.
(Large guesses, I Might be making stuff up. who knows.)

And here's the cancel button, in case you don't want toast.

I. Tcl Detection and Installation
If ./configure does not correctly detect the location of your Tcl
library and header file, or if you experience errors related to Tcl
during linking, preform these steps:
1. Depending on what shell your using:
bash/ksh:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to DIRECTORY containing Tcl library>:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
csh/tcsh/tclsh:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <path to DIRECTORY containing Tcl library>:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
Note that some OS's use a different environment variable to tell
ld where to look for a library. See the notes for your specific OS
above (if applicable).
2. Run the following command from your Eggdrop compilation directory
(this is all one command):
./configure --with-tclinc='<full path to tcl.h>'
--with-tcllib='<full path to Tcl library>'
3. Continue compiling the bot as outlined in Section A., starting
with 'make config'.
If you do not have Tcl installed on your system, you can compile it in
your /home directory. Download Tcl from Tcl's SourceForge project page
at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/, or from ActiveState at
ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_4/. Read Tcl's README file for
help with compiling and installing it. After you compile Tcl, follow
the steps above to allow Eggdrop to detect Tcl.
