Problem installing eggdrop irc bot

Postby Amos » Sat Sep 22, 2007 12:17 am

untarred the install file.

ran

Code: Select all
./configure


started OK, then there was an error and config stopped.

error said

Code: Select all
  Tcl cannot be found on this system.

  Eggdrop requires Tcl to compile. If you already have Tcl installed on
  this system, and 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.



i ran

Code: Select all
[root@dontsnooze eggdrop1.6.17]# whereis tcl
tcl: /usr/lib/tcl8.4 /usr/share/tcl8.4


then i tried

Code: Select all
[root@dontsnooze eggdrop1.6.17]# ./configure --with-tcllib='/usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so' --with-tclinc='/usr/lib/tcl8.4'


(I tried /usr/lib and /usr/share)
I then got another error:

Code: Select all
  The file '/usr/lib/tcl8.4' given to option --with-tclinc is not valid....


Your Tcl version is much too old for Eggdrop to use. You should
  download and compile a more recent version. The most reliable
  current version is 8.4.6 and can be downloaded from
  ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_4/.


i then ran:

Code: Select all
[root@dontsnooze eggdrop1.6.17]# rpm -q tcl
tcl-8.4.9-3


Think I don't have tcl-devel installed.
yum installed it.

Code: Select all
yum install tcl-devel


ran

Code: Select all
[root@dontsnooze eggdrop1.6.17]# ./configure


Configure worked fine. =)
Don't Snooze
