Only connects in debug mode.

I installed eggdrop 1.6.19 (from source) on my fresh installed Ubuntu 8.04.
But it wont connect to irc or let me telnet to it when i try to start it normally, it launches in the background but never connects to irc.
If i add the -n (debug) when i start it, it works fine.

Is this a bug or somethind, or did i do something wrong?

It's a thread problem afaik.

You need to recompile eggdrop with a special switch but I can't remember it.
Hopefully someone else knows it..

How many eggdrop processes do you see when you type "ps x" after launching it into the background?

Also, out of curiosity, have you set the my-ip and my-hostname variables correctly? (and not commented out?)

thanks for answering.
But i found my problem.

the bot is behind a router so i had to set the nat-ip to my local ip.
I cant remember doing that on my previous eggdrop (1.6.18).

One workaround is editing your config.h file after running configure, and make sure you define the HAVE_TCL_THREADS macro, as you most likely have a threaded tcl-library that is not properly detected (ugly hack, I know.. but the current test for threaded tcl is just as ugly).

Unfortunately, there is no switch for the configure-script to enforce threaded tcl, only non-threaded tcl (unless changed in 1.6.19)
