directory src ?

[Open up eggdrop directory/src/eggdrop.h with a text editor, and look for the
following line:

#define HANDLEN 9 /* valid values 9->NICKMAX */

As you can see, it's pre-set to 9. Edit the value and recompile the bot to
use a longer handle length.] quote from a faq file.

I do not have a src directory, or if I do its hidden. Thou if I could find
it, that would fix my ills no doubt.. So what might i have done wrong to not have this directory ?

Thanks again, MK

umm, if your src directory aint there, then you'll have serious errors when you try to compile... Its there, quite plain to see

hm, did you look for that directory in the eggrop directory after compiling the bot, or in the eggdrop1.6.x directory?
eggdrop.h is in the last one.

Thanks for the help, i found the dir.

The shell i am on lets you use a command "geteggdrop"

It installs the egg and delets files used for setup, all you were left with was the dir eggdrop.

so i uploaded the eggdrop tar file and did it manually , and low and behold in the middle of the process i found the src dir and made the edit. All is good now.

Thanks again, MK
