Tcl error.

[caesar]

I`ve installed on my server Tcl Library 8.3 and 8.4 and I still got this error :

---------- Yeah! that's the compiling, now the linking! ----------

Linking eggdrop...

What could be the problem?

[Petersen]

your ld hints file is not upto date

[caesar]

excuse me?

[Petersen]

man 8 ldconfig

[asssaf1]

try to install tcl via RPM
its work better.

[caesar]

I like rpm to, but where to find one?

[Dank]

ive installed tcl8.3.2 into my home directory....

and still get this after changing the makefile to point to the tcl files

Stop.

[guppy]

trying adding 'export LD_LIBRARYPATH=pathtotcllib' to your .profile or .bash_profile .. this should help fix some problems.

well ive progressed since yesterday..maybe not progressed but a diff error...it wont even link today.

make: don't know how to make /home/cus2/altnrg/usr/local/lib/libtcl8.3.so. Stop

Stop.

i even did as guppy suggested in the last post

Hi,

I am getting pretty much the same error.
---------- Yeah! that's the compiling, now the linking! ----------

----------------

I am not root. And don't seem to have access to ldconfig command. I am on : NetBSD 1.5.3_ALPHA.

Tried compiling different versions from 1.4.5 to 1.6.10. Still same errors. Also tried to look for precompiled bots for NetBSD. But found none.
Tried compiling with the "./configure --with-tcllib=/usr/pkg/lib --with-tclinc=/usr/pkg/include" command.
Get a config error:
-------------------------
checking space left in file database struct... (cached) 48/512 bytes
(standard is currently 48/512 bytes)
configure: warning:

The file '/usr/pkg/lib' given to option --with-tcllib is not valid.
configure will now attempt to autodetect both the Tcl library and header...

checking for Tcl library... not found
checking for Tcl header... found /usr/pkg/include/tcl.h
configure: error:

I can't find Tcl on this system.

Eggdrop now 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, set the environment variables TCLLIB and TCLINC so
I will know where to find 'libtcl.a' (or 'libtcl.so') and 'tcl.h'
(respectively). Then run 'configure' again.

Read the README file if you don't know what Tcl is or how to get
it and install it.

ksh:
-----------------------------
So what I did was edit the configure script, and added the path /usr/pkg/include and /usr/pkg/lib. No luck.
The system I am using is running tcl 8.3.1. Tried compiling TCL 8.4b1 and it's predecesor. Still no luck.

I am all confused as to why I can't get it compiled correctly . Didn't think it would be this hard. Can anyone offer any type of help? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Asd stated in the error output, you should try typing the file in the --with-tcllib, rather than just the directory.

[wasabi-egg]

ppslim,

I did try the --with options. But this is what I get:
---------------------------------------------------------------
[127:wasabi/temp/eggdrop1.6.10> ./configure --with-tcllib=/usr/pkg/lib --with-tclinc=/usr/pkg/include

This is Eggdrop's GNU configure script.
It's going to run a bunch of strange tests to hopefully
make your compile work without much twiddling.

Your Tcl version is much too old for Eggdrop to use.
I suggest you download and compile a more recent version.
The most reliable current version is 8.3.3 and
can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/tcl/tcl8_3/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am sure that's the path to the system's lib and include:
[0:wasabi/temp/eggdrop1.6.10> ls /usr/pkg/lib/libtcl*
/usr/pkg/lib/libtcl83.a /usr/pkg/lib/libtcl83.so /usr/pkg/lib/libtcl83.so.1.0
/usr/pkg/lib/libtcl83.la /usr/pkg/lib/libtcl83.so.1 /usr/pkg/lib/libtclstub83.a

[0:wasabi/temp/eggdrop1.6.10> ls /usr/pkg/include/tcl*
/usr/pkg/include/tcl.h /usr/pkg/include/tclDecls.h
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So what am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

As stated in my previous reply, youu are specifying the directory, and not trhe file.

If you read the output of the error, it states "The file is invalid", not "The directory is invalid".

You should use /usr/pkg/lib/libtcl83.so for the library and /usr/pkg/include/tcl.h for the include file.

ppslim,

Sorry, didn't read that last post correctly. Tried that, with both the system's 8.3 tcl, and my own compiled tcl 8.4 in my home directory. And get pretty much the same error:
