Hello,
I compiled a 1.6.6 eggdrop correctly with no error msgs. But then, when I tried to start it, it gets stuck.

bleh@mybawkz:~/eggdrop$ ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.simple.conf

Eggdrop v1.6.6 (C)1997 Robey Pointer (C)2001 Eggheads
yo
yo
yo

and It wont return to the bash until I kill the process or stop it. The bot wont respond to telnet also, it's just like it isnt started. I have the problem with 1.4.2 also. Only 1.1.5 runs fine.

Anyone?

btw I use TCL 8.3

Does it realy say

?

Where did you download the bot?

How did you compile the bot?

oh no sorry. I wrote this on the shell prompt just to show I could type in and it didnt load up. eggdrop is 1.6.6 download from ftp.eggheads.org.

the eggdrop wont load up it will just say the Robey Pointer thing and let me type, wont go back into bash.

This is odd. You should try compiling in static mode.

To do this, use the following steps

./configure
make config
make static

In other words, instead of the plain "make" command, use "make static".

I still get the same error after a make static :/

Special thanks to guppy from eggheads, the problem was TCL. We had to recompile tcl without threads and it worked fine. Thought maybe it could be useful to someone one day if you're getting the same error.
