Make sure your configuration file is loading both the DNS & IRC modules.

I don't think by saying "EXIT" your bot is even loaded into the background. It has self terminated itself. Did you edit the .config file properly? If so you don't have an idea, go download the sample .conf files on egghelp.org's page and use those!

Hint:
#Search the config file
#Remove the 'die' command everwhere you find it in the .conf file uncommented in a seperate line or just comment it.

To check if the eggdrop process in running on the machine in the background type:

ps x

This will show you a list of running processes. If your ./eggdrop -m bot.conf is not in any of those it means your bot hasn't been loaded into the background and hence it will obviously not be on IRC.

You can download the eggdrop source any number of places, try eggheads.org or here..... or here's a novel idea, try reading the documentation that is included with your bot in the ~eggdrop/doc/ directory.
If all that fails, maybe you need to go to the egghelp homepage, and start clicking the links in the left pane, being absolutely sure to read every single word contained in Setting Up Your Eggdrop. Hope that helps

As YooHoo stated in his post you can follow the example of setting up an eggdrop here. It would probably assist you if you downloaded eggdrop.conf from your eggdrop1.6.16 directory and read carefully the steps in the link posted.

First of all you see, your modules aren't loaded correctly. Then if they arent loaded correctly, there will be errors in the .conf file recognizing tcl binds. In this case it is the unbind.

looks like you did not read the link you were given on setting up an eggdrop... you are starting your bot from your compile dir.. either because you did not even install it yet.. or did not read what it told you when you did

read the docs that came with your bot.. and this site!

Just type:

cd eggdrop1.6.16
make install

or

make install DEST=/home/usr/dir

Then after it is transferred from the compilation directory to the new directory from where you can run the bot. Leave the compilation directory and go into the new directory and run the bot from there.

type:

cd ..
cd eggdrop
./eggdrop -m myconfig.file
