Problem with eggdrop linking/install

Magnet · Post by **Magnet** » Thu Sep 19, 2002 1:53 pm

Hi all,

I'm trying to install eggdrop on my shell and when compiling and running it I get an error :

Successful compile: eggdrop

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/magnet/eggdrop1.6.12/src'

./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(this is not the first time I compile eggdrop and never got that error)

Of course, I have read the FAQ!

" 6l. I GET "ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libtcl80.so.1" not found" or
"eggdrop: error in loading shared libraries libtcl8.1.so: \"

It is told to:

./configure --with-tcllib=<path-to-tcl-lib>
--with-tclinc=<path-to-tcl-inc>
Try looking for libtcl by:
ls /usr/lib/libtcl*
ls /usr/local/lib/libtcl*
Try looking for tcl.h by:
ls /usr/include/tcl.h
ls /usr/local/include/tcl.h

what I actually did :

[magnet@hera eggdrop1.6.12]$ ls /usr/local/lib/libtcl*
/usr/local/lib/libtcl8.3.so /usr/local/lib/libtclstub8.3.a
[magnet@hera eggdrop1.6.12]$

[magnet@hera eggdrop1.6.12]$ ls /usr/local/include/tcl.h
/usr/local/include/tcl.h
[magnet@hera eggdrop1.6.12]$

so I run ./configure --with-tcllib=/usr/local/lib/libtcl8.3.so --with-tclinc=/usr/local/include/tcl.h

The configure script finds tcl out !:

checking for Tcl library... using /usr/local/lib/libtcl8.3.so
checking for Tcl header... using /usr/local/include/tcl.h
checking whether the Tcl system has changed... yes
checking for Tcl version... 8.3
checking for Tcl patch level... 8.3.4
checking for Tcl_Free in -ltcl8.3... yes
checking for TclpFinalizeThreadData in -ltcl8.3... no

But IT STILL DOES NOT WORK :'( !!

TCLSH is working fine

[magnet@hera eggdrop1.6.12]$ tclsh8.3
% exit
[magnet@hera eggdrop1.6.12]$

I am root on the server and I installed tcl8.3, with no problem at compiling...

Server infos :

[magnet@hera eggdrop1.6.12]$ uname -a
Linux hera 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux
[magnet@hera eggdrop1.6.12]$

running Debian GNU/Linux Woody
using Tcl8.3.4

Please help me, it is greatly appreciated

If you need further information to get my problem resolved just ask... Thx!

You need to update your ld config. I beleive the command is ldconfig.

Thank you for your help but... I have run /usr/sbin/ldconfig as root, ./configure --with-goodparams, make config, make clean, make... And I still get the same f*cking error message...

Anyone, please tell me if you got an idea !

thank you
