Hello,

Haw can I install eggdrop 1.6.21 on shell Linux 4.9.0-4-amd64 ?

After ./make I have ERROR

Thank You

What error do you get?

[Amilcar]

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.

See doc/COMPILE-GUIDE's 'Tcl Detection and Installation' section for more
information.

You have posted the answer. That's it, quoted above.

Perhaps it will help if you visit: http://eggwiki.org/Main_Page
and scroll down to : Tcl related issues
and see:
"I installed the tcl-dev package but eggdrop doesn't find it on my new operating system (Ubuntu 14, etc.)"
and click on it, and read what you find there.
That's an example.

If you need help actually finding the files needed, then perhaps somebody here can give you commands to help you locate them. I can't do it off the top of my head. I either fumble around, or use google.

Installing these was what I did when I experienced a similar thing to you.

sudo apt-get install -y libtcl8.5 tcl8.5-dev

The one I needed at the time was was actually 8.4 though.
And after installation, I believe you can do this:

./configure --with-tcllib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcl8.5.so --with-tclinc=/usr/include/tcl8.5/tcl.h

If you install the dev package of TCL (and I think last is tcl8.6-dev) you won't need to configure with the path as it will find the path of the libtcl8.6.so and tcl.h by itself.
