mysqltcl[solved]

[theice]

can't figure out how to install this at all-

the coding to utilize it seems super easy, I used the search feature still couldn't figure it out.

http://www.xdobry.de/mysqltcl/
http://www.xdobry.de/mysqltcl/mysqltcl-3.05.tar.gz

is what i want to use

I am using a freebsd shell, so I have no idea what to do, I just have a user account no root access or anything

Best thing to do is ask your shell server admin if mysqltcl is installed on the server.

[theice]

he installed it on the server,

but...

it is saying the package isn't there?

do I have to recomplie the bot or something? where do I put that

tried adding

load /usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.03/libmysqltcl3.03.so

to my eggdrop.conf is that all I have to do?

[DragnLord]

recompile eggdrop and see if errors persist

[theice]

I can just recomplie the eggdrop, without changing any of the settings?

Code: Select all

[02:50] Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf':
[02:50] couldn't load file "/usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.05/libmysqltcl3.05": Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.05/libmysqltcl3.05"
    while executing
"load /usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.05/libmysqltcl3.05"
    (file "eggdrop.conf" line 1347)
[02:50] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

is what I get.

On most linux-based systems, loadable libraries would be suffixed by .so
Double-check the name of the path and filename of the library. Since it's a tcl-module and not an eggdrop-module, there is no need for recompiling your eggdrop.

[theice]

it was .so , I tried that also

Code: Select all

[11:34] couldn't load file "/usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.05/libmysqltcl3.05.so": Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.05/libmysqltcl3.05.so"
    while executing
"load /usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.05/libmysqltcl3.05.so"
    (file "eggdrop.conf" line 1347)

Code: Select all

load /usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.05/libmysqltcl3.05.so

^ is that what I need i my eggdrop.conf ?

[nml375]

Assuming that's the correct path to the file, yes.
Could you also check the file permissions of that file? (ls -l)

[theice]

the permissions are correct to be accessed from my shell account..

any other ideas?

[nml375]

Could you please paste the output from

Code: Select all

ldd /usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.05/libmysqltcl3.05.so

[theice]

I asked a different admin for my hosting company to see what was up, and he got it working in 2 minutes ROFL.

Code: Select all

libmysqlclient.so.16 => /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16 (0x2816b000)
	libcrypt.so.3 => /lib/libcrypt.so.3 (0x281cf000)
	libm.so.4 => /lib/libm.so.4 (0x281e7000)
	libz.so.3 => /lib/libz.so.3 (0x281fd000)

so I think it is working good now

[nml375]

Good,
In many cases, these errors are due to improperly configured ld (the library responsible for loading dynamically linked libraries). Especially with "non-standard" installationpaths, it's very easy to forget to edit /etc/ld.so.conf and/or running ldconfig after installation.

Anyway, good luck and happy scripting..

thanks for your help
