Ok, this is frustrating to say the least. I have read many posts on this same problem and nothing seems to help. Lets start with the problem:
---------- Yeah! that's the compiling, now the linking! ----------
Linking eggdrop...
gcc -pipe -o ../eggdrop bg.o botcmd.o botmsg.o botnet.o chanprog.o cmds.o dcc.o dccutil.o dns.o flags.o language.o main.o mem.o misc.o misc_file.o modules.o net.o rfc1459.o tcl.o tcldcc.o tclhash.o tclmisc.o tcluser.o userent.o userrec.o users.o -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl8.3 -lm -lpthread -ldl -lnsl -lsocket md5/md5c.o compat/*.o `cat mod/mod.xlibs`
strip ../eggdrop
Successful compile: eggdrop
ld.so.1: ./eggdrop: fatal: libtcl8.3.so: open failed: No such file or directory
*** Error code 137
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `modegg'
Now, this box has had an eggie running on it for the longest time, and since I accidently rm'd the directory, I had to reinstall. Problem is, I tried to install 1.6.10 and get this error. So, fine, I can live with defeat... so I tried to install ANYTHING, even as far back as 1.4.2 nothing works, all this same error.
I have tried checking my path to make sure it has the lib path in it. I have tried to compile the eggie static. I have tried just about every eggie between 1.4.2 and 1.6.10. And now I'm fresh outta ideas. I know the TCL on this box has been going strong for 1+ years and don't want to mess with it, unless as a last resort. I have seen multiple other posts on this same problem. If anyone found a solution, please share it. Thanks
