Problem when compiling

[demond]

put this in your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile:

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=My_location; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

and you won't have to type it every time

or better yet, put LD_LIBRARY_PATH=My_location in your cron file (don't forget to run crontab afterwards)

Thank you very much for the prompt reply, the line in the .profile seems to have worked like a charm

i have same problem...
but the libtcl8.4.so is in the normal dir.. but eggdrop cant find it..
thought maybe a symboliclink error but after trying to set it .. it tells me that it is set and to the right path!

so pls help me out

hi,
i have a problem while compiling the eggdrop. it sais:

Code: Select all

 Your Tcl version is much too old for Eggdrop to use. You should
  download and compile a more recent version. The most reliable
  current version is 8.4.6 and can be downloaded from
  ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_4/.

  See doc/COMPILE-GUIDE's 'Tcl Detection and Installation' section
  for more information.

but this is exactly what i did. i installed activetcl in the latest version.
so i tried:

./configure --with-tcllib='/usr/local/ActiveTcl/lib/libtcl8.4.so' <-- this path IS correct

Code: Select all

configure: warning:

  You must specify both --with-tcllib and --with-tclinc for either to work.

  configure will now attempt to autodetect both the Tcl library and header.

configure: warning:

  The file '' given to option --with-tcllib is not valid.

  configure will now attempt to autodetect both the Tcl library and header.

configure: warning:

  The file '' given to option --with-tclinc is not valid.

  configure will now attempt to autodetect both the Tcl library and header.

checking for Tcl library... using /lib
checking for Tcl header... using /
checking whether the Tcl system has changed... yes
checking for Tcl version...
checking for Tcl patch level...
configure: error:

but where's the problem?
i also tried the preinstalled tcl (8.4.6-12) and made a downgrad to 8.4.6-9
always the same error.
my eggdrop is 1.6.17 (1.6.18 also doesn't work)

my system is a debian sarge server.

any ideas?
thx&greets,
soomon

i also tried reinstalling tcl 8.4.12 using apt, it did it but still the same error...

recompiling the source from tcl.tk also doen't suceed:

xyz:/tmp/tcl8.4.12/unix# make
tclAppInit.o(.gnu.linkonce.t.__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx+0x0): first defined here
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [tclsh] error 1
(./configure worked!)

[demond]

are you able to compile anything else?

Ok, lets see if anyone can figure this out...

About a week ago, i installed Tcl/Tk Software's Tcl8.5 .. well then i removed the files...

today, I installed ActiveTcl8.4 to /opt/..... and exported the path.. tested i could use tclsh and was able to get a prompt.

go to compile eggy with and without the --with-tcl='path-to-tcl8.4' and when I go to make... i get :

Code: Select all

./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [modules] Error 127

I have done ldconfig -v and there is no reference to tcl8.5 at all. So why in the world am i getting an error about libtcl8.5.so? Is it hard coded to use a non-stable tcl library?

Any help would be appreciated.

I notice at the beginning of make, where it starts to compile, the path to tcl is listed as -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl8.5

Code: Select all
