Eggdrop bot not launching!

doggie015 · Post by **doggie015** » Sat Jan 14, 2012 9:38 am

I recently compiled an eggdrop bot, set it up and tried to run it for the first time using ./eggbot -m eggbot.conf

I got this output

Does anyone here know how I can fix this?

At a first glance, it seems you've linked your eggdrop different tcl-headers and libraries (library is 8.5.9, while the header-file is 8.4.1). This might be worth looking into for starters.

Unfortunately, there's not much else to tell without a backtrace (either on a coredump, or running eggdrop through gdb).

Thanks! After removing the bot and doing a complete recompile and reinstall it seems to work... However despite the software itself appearing to work it cannot connect to the IRC server. It doesn't seem to be trying to connect, just listening on the port specified in eggdrop.conf and outputting a DNS lookup failed error
