Linking problems with 1.6.8 & 1.6.9

[juba]

While linking my bot (compiling works ok) I get the following errors:

Linking eggdrop...

The tcl is version 8.4 and ./configure didn't report any errors.. I also have 1.4.4 running on the same machine which I compiled with no errors about a year ago.
The error messages seem to suggest something wrong with Tcl, but I can't figure out what.

Also, there was no reference to this case in compiling.FAQ.

looks like your tcl.h is out of sync with your tcl libs. find the ones you know are tcl8.4 and use --with-tclinc and --with-tcllib to specify them instead of relying on autodetect.

[juba]

That helped me one step further, now it links successfully, but at the end it throws this at me:

Successful compile: eggdrop

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/juba/temp/eggdrop1.6.9/src'

./eggdrop: error in loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [modegg] Error 127


I checked, double checked and then checked again and the path to libtcl8.4.so is definitely correct...
While searching for the right pair of libtcl and tcl.h, I found references to several versions of tcl. I wonder if the system operator has messed it up.

[Petersen]

libtcl8.4.so isnt in one of the system's standard library dirs (/lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib on most systems). Get the admin to move/copy/symlink it into one of those dirs.

Try adding the path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your .profile or .bash_profile or whatever.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/stdragon/mytcl
