when i type ./configure its giving me missing file errors, im kind of a noob so i dont really know what's causing this i think conf8807.sh is missing

[#####@localhost eggdrop1.6.17]$ ./configure
./configure: line 93: conf8807.sh: No such file or directory
./configure: line 94: conf8807.sh: No such file or directory
chmod: failed to get attributes of `conf8807.sh': No such file or directory
./configure: line 206: conf8807.file: No such file or directory
./configure: line 979: config.log: No such file or directory

try make install instead of single make and then make install

yeah I did, and recommended you do that right after make config, without doing single make first

sorry my bad

i have to do a single make first though, it says i havent compiled eggdrop yet if i type make install instead of just make

heh, I didn't know eggdrop doesn't support implicit make target in make install like other UNIX software... just took a look at Makefile.in and indeed it doesn't... anyway

try starting over once again and follow the exact steps for building eggdrop (configure, make config, make, make install), also make sure that your build directory has read/write access permissions i.e. you can create files, check your quota etc.

i dont have a /usr/bin/install directory, i dont have a /usr , /bin or /install at all

/usr/bin/install is a program/utility, not a directory

what operating system do you try to build eggdrop on?

also, what's in your config.log file?

i seem to remember this problem occuring when the bot is being run from the `default` directory (home/user/eggdrop). When you use make install, give it a destination directory, like make install DEST=/home/user/botnick. No need to create a new directory, eggdrop will do it for you

Riebeck · Post by **Riebeck** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 4:45 pm

i have to add a line at the top of the config file that points to the executable
