tcl error during configuring

Cluster · Post by **Cluster** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 3:36 pm

If i write in the command "./configure", i get this error:

configure: error:

  Tcl cannot be found on this system.

  Eggdrop requires Tcl to compile. If you already have Tcl installed on
  this system, and I just wasn't looking in the right place for it, re-run
  ./configure using the --with-tcllib='/path/to/libtcl.so' and
  --with-tclinc='/path/to/tcl.h' options.

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

I have installed tcl 8.4.12 on the debian server, but i find only the libtcl.so and not the tcl.h file.

What can i do? Please help

You are most likely missing the tcl-devel package.

The same way you get/install any debian packages...
Most ppl I know go for the apt-get application, although there's dselect, dpkg, etc available aswell

What is the package name?

Code: Select all

E: Couldn't find package tcl-devel

Then it is probably tcl-dev..

Then i get this message

Code: Select all

~# apt-get install tcl-dev
Reading package lists... Done

Package tcl-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

tcl8.4-dev perhaps then?
Or basically, whatever tcl package you installed, suffixed with -dev
