a bit of help?

[Anarchyst_blu]

first off i would like to say hello to you all -- as i am a new "egghead." I installed tcl and eggdrop today on a shell account i have, or at least WOULD have if i hadnt found this problem:

I had to install tcl in dirs that i have write access to, but these are not the default dirs eggdrop configure looks for. i get this as a solution to the error:

re-run
./configure using the --with-tcllib='/path/to/libtcl.so' and
--with-tclinc='/path/to/tcl.h' options.

but have no idea how to do this... i know the full path name of the dirs the two specified files are in, but how do i run configure with those options?

here is what i tried:

Code: Select all

[anarchyst_blu@******* ~/eggdrop1.6.17]$ ~/eggdrop1.6.17]$ ./configure --with-tcllib=/home/*******.org/anarchyst_blu/tcl/libtcl8.4.so --with-tclinc=/home/thetalon.org/anarchyst_blu/tcl/tcl.h 

and

Code: Select all

[anarchyst_blu@******* ~/eggdrop1.6.17]$ ~/eggdrop1.6.17]$ ./configure --with-tcllib='/home/*******.org/anarchyst_blu/tcl/libtcl8.4.so' --with-tclinc='/home/thetalon.org/anarchyst_blu/tcl/tcl.h'

I got a "command not found" error

well... i worked around the first error through trial and error, but now am stuck on 'make' and 'make install'.

here was my error with make:

Code: Select all

Test run of ./eggdrop -v:
./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [modules] Error 127

i didnt have write access to default dirs, as stated above, so had to put in by hand which dir libtcl8.4.so resided in... could this be part of the error?

Angel@tranquil eggdrop1.6.17 $ ldd eggdrop
eggdrop:
libtcl84.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libtcl84.so.1 (0x280ae000)
libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x28149000)
libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x28164000)

./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This indeed is part of your problem.

Also if you dont have access to 'make' try using 'gmake' instead
