Not sure this is an eggdrop problem but

[ShavdApe]

Well im fairly sure this is more to do with the shell but I was hoping someone here could help me.

I recently changed shells now on my last shell my bots where stable but the company was no so great the new shell has far better support but sadly things where no so stable so asked there support to look at my problems. They did that and upgraded the tcl package and turned swapon apparently ( I have no idea what that means ),
Once they did all this i recompiled the bots I assumed I would need to if the tcl package had been changed and now I can start my bots up fine but none of them will connect anywhere not even telnet. I tried with the -nt flag which I understand brings them out of the background and then they work and do connect so I wondering if anyone knew what the problem might be and if so help me fix it maybe.

You are probably suffering from an issue with threaded tcl8.5 not being properly detected.

From the topic Eggdrop can't connect to irc servers [SOLVED]

The quickfix is as follows:

• Download/unpack eggdrop source.
• Run ./configure
• Edit config.h, locate the HAVE_TCL_THREADS macro:

  Code: Select all

  /* Define for Tcl that has threads. */
  /* #undef HAVE_TCL_THREADS */

  Alter that into this:

  Code: Select all

  /* Define for Tcl that has threads. */
  #define HAVE_TCL_THREADS 1

• Run make config
• Run make
• Run make install

If you'd like to know more about this issue, you'll find several threads regarding this in the forum. A search for "threaded tcl" should pick most of them.
