Lemme guess, you're using a precompiled eggdrop binary? The error indicates that ld-elf.so.1 is not being found. I'll further assume you are not on a Linux platform (which would not need any ld-elf.so lib, since ELF is inherent in Linux's libs/kernel by default.) But maybe I'm wrong, maybe you're using a redhat derivative, which tend to do things in a completely non-standard way.

If you are using a precompiled, packaged eggdrop, get rid of it, go get the source code and compile your own.

that's outdated in the recent linux kernel versions, and no longer used. I dont know if redhat kernel uses it, but gentoo systems dont.

Hell, its outdated even in the OLD kernels, I'm still running a 2.4.x system and have no such lib. I am assuming it's a non-linux system that uses ld-elf to support linux cross-compiling or running elf binaries.

I've seen this on BSD systems when people try to run a binary designed for GNU/Linux. :roll:
Compiling the bot from source on the shell should solve this problem.
