Code: Select all

-jailshell-2.05b$ ./configure                                 
                                                              
This is Eggdrop's GNU configure script.                       
It's going to run a bunch of strange tests to hopefully       
make your compile work without much twiddling.

What OS is this? Post the output of uname -a. After that is said, I seriously, seriously doubt you will be able to compile Eggdrop from 'jailshell'. Contact your system administrator about this.

On that note, if your admin has your shell set to 'jailshell', chances are, this is a webhosting box and you aren't allowed to run an Eggdrop on it. Like I said though, contact the sysadmin and have your shell changed to bash before you compile Eggdrop.

you're right, Wcc

I was having the same problem here, trying to compile it from an account with jailshell
i've even tried to put another version of cpp (i have r00t on this server) but it didn't work

when i changed my shell to bash it worked perfectly

thanks

This is probably one of the reasons they require you to use jailshell in the first place :P
