Eggdrop Installation - Having some problems.

[Dr Small]

Ok. I'm running Ubuntu (Linux) and been asking some questions on Ubuntu Forums of how to install Eggdrop and all, (you can read here)

So, basicly, here's all I did.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install eggdrop

Eggdrop installed, and so when I type

Code: Select all

eggdrop

in the terminal, here's the output:

Code: Select all

Eggdrop v1.6.17 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2004 Eggheads
[19:44] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.17 (Mon Dec  4 2006)
[19:44] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

So, I downloaded the config file, from here and downloaded 1.6.18 to $HOME

So, then I run:

Code: Select all

sudo mv eggdrop.conf /usr/share/doc/eggdrop-data/

And when I run "eggdrop" in the terminal again, I still get the same error.

So, I though, I'll try running the config file,
So I ran:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/share/doc/eggdrop-data/
$ ./eggdrop.conf

And then I get this:

Code: Select all

Eggdrop v1.6.17 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2004 Eggheads
[19:48] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.17 (Mon Dec  4 2006)
[19:48] * Please make sure you edit your config file completely.

So, I opened eggdrop.conf and edited all the things down through there, that looked like they needed edited, and I tried running eggdrop.conf again, and still get the same message.

I also get the same message if I run "eggdrop" also.
So, does anyone know any remedies, or any suggestions that would help me, far as setting up eggdrop ?

A Step-by-step instruction guide would be nice, for something like this, but I guess you can't have everything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok. I did just about everything you said, until I get to ./configure
Here's the output of ./configure

Code: Select all

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

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

I don't know what I have to do, in order for this to work, that's why I usually download the stuff from the repository,

But if you can give some help, I'll do it this way.

use apt-get install build-essential

Also, if you just delete the lines that start with "die" in the conf, it should work fine.

[Dr Small]

I ran apt-get install build-essential and everything downloaded.

Now, when I cd eggdrop1.6.18
$ ./configure I get this output:

  Eggdrop 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, re-run
  ./configure using the --with-tcllib='/path/to/libtcl.so' and
  --with-tclinc='/path/to/tcl.h' options.

  See doc/COMPILE-GUIDE's 'Tcl Detection and Installation' section for more
  information.

Looks like I need Tcl now.
/me has no clue about this stuff.
I just got on Linux 3 weeks ago......

That's why people write documentation..

[Alchera]

For a start "apt-get install build-essential" doesn't when it comes to eggdrop.

There are no shortcuts to compiling eggdrop; both gcc and tcl/tk are required.

You now simply look in Synaptic for Tcl/Tk and install.

I posted every link to each documentation required by you for each step. I suggest you actually do some reading (which is also a requirement with eggdrop).
