INstalling TCL
INstalling TCL
It was pretty straight forward installed aggdrop to my shell. The problem I am having is finding a tutorial that will guide me through installing tcl on my server. Can anyone guide me in the right direction on getting TCL installing on my server .
With most linux and bsd dists these days, it's a mere matter of using a packet manager (such as apt-get, aptitude, yum, or similar) for your dist; and install the tcl and tcl-dev packages.
If you'd rather do it the hard way, have a look here: http://tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.5.html

Would a moderator be able to pass this along to whoever maintains the above link?
Thanks.

Assuming you've got the needed buildtools (gcc, libc, make, etc); it's generally a matter of ./configure; make; make install
Unfortunately, your current description does'nt give us much more information to work with..
What kind of system (linux, bsd, unix) and distribution?
Can you install the tcl libraries using a packet manager?
If you're compiling, does the ./configure-script give any errors?
Does the actual compiling (make) give any errors?
If you do get any errors, what are they?

Alright sorry for not being specific. This is what I have done. I have uploaded via FTP Eggdrop, tcl8.5.10, and tk8.5.10. Each one has been extracted via telnet to my server.
When I ran ./configure via telnet for eggdrop everything works fine until the tcl check. This is what I get.
configure: WARNING:
You must specify both --with-tcllib and --with-tclinc for either to work.
configure will now attempt to autodetect both the Tcl library and header.
checking for Tcl library... found /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so
checking for Tcl header... not found
checking whether the Tcl system has changed... yes
configure: error:
Tcl cannot be found on this system.
Eggdrop requires Tcl and the Tcl development files to compile.
If you already have Tcl installed on this system, make sure you
also have the development files (common package names include
'tcl-dev' and 'tcl-devel'). If 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.
So I followed the instructions via: http://www.tcl.tk/doc/howto/compile.html to comfigure and compile tcl on my server.
./configure --prefix=/home/TCL ----> SUCCESS
make ------->SUCCESS I guess, i did not get errors
make test ------> Run fine until load.test
load.test
==== load-10.1 load from vfs FAILED
==== Contents of test case:

---- Result was:

---- Result should have been (exact matching):
0 {}
==== load-10.1 FAILED
Then when I do make install I get the following
-bash-3.2$ make install
Making directory /home/TCL/lib

The File permission on the TCL directory is 755.
THis is where I am stuck at this time

In this case, you've already got tcl8.4 installed, though you are missing the -dev package for it.
This would be a good point to ask whether you've got root access to this system, or just a shell account. If you do have root access, the brand (or distribution) of Linux would also be quite helpful.
Your build of the tcl libraries worked just fine, however, you do not have write access to the /home/TCL directory, where you are trying to install tcl. Or, more to the point, there is no /home/TCL directory, and you do not have write permissions in /home. Perhaps this should be something along /home/myhome/tcl (where myhome would be your accounts home directory).

I even tried
-bash-3.2$ make install

-bash-3.2$
all my websites, etc are in public_html
The TCL Folder now exist in /home/public_html/TCL and I changed permission to 777 but still get the above error

Please re-check the last part of my previous post.
It is VERY uncommon to have user data directly under /home. It's pretty much standard to create one directory for each user account under /home.
Say my login-name would be test123, then my home directory would be /home/test123, and I would place a private installation of tcl in /home/test123/tcl; I would have my private website in /home/test123/public_html; and so on...
Also, am I safe to assume you do NOT have root access on this server?
