I'm attempting to install an eggdrop on my linux machine here at home. Its running Mandriva 2007. I am new to Linux, and I've successfully done an Eggdrop install once on another version of Mandriva and Ubuntu without running into this particular issue. Heres what I've done;
This is a fresh install of Mandriva. NOTHING else has been installed. I have internet access, the graphics are working, I'm hooked up with SSH, and everything seems pretty sound. So, as root in a shell, extract the archives, and run ./configure
When it goes through a couple screens of text, it shows me an error telling me that it can't continue because it requires TCL. So I go hunt up the sites via google as to where I can get and install (With help) TCL.
I find this -> http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/
So I go and read all this, and down at the bottom it tells me how I can check what version of TCL I have on the machine, assuming its on the machine. It comes back showing me version 8.4.13. Its close to the same version as what I was able to download. So, scratching my head, I decided to hunt up the configure told me to look for. I ran updatedb as root, and ran locate libtcl.so and locate tcl.h and neither came back with a result.
I went and did the RTFM thing in the doc/COMPILE-GUIDE and went to the TCL web site and in there told me to go online to look at the readme for instructions to do the install of TCL. My thinking is to just aim to find out where TCL lives on the machine, so I can get the installation going. After a few clicks, I came to this site: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_d ... p_id=10894 which is the online readme. Inside there, theres a couple of links that point to real installation instructions. One of them is this one and it tells me its down for construction.
Where do I go from here to get TCL running?
