Hi all,

I'm playing about with a zonecf from www.publicip.net. It installs a stripped down version of debian I believe.

I thought i'd see if I could compile eggdrop 1.6.17 on it.
Firstly it said tcl wasn't installed, so I downloaded tcl8.4.9-src from tcl.activestate.com and installed via
./configure
make
make install

(please excuse me pasting my commands..i'm very very new to linux and want to make sure i'm doing this right).

So I then went to my eggdrop directory and done
./configure
make config
make

it compiled the eggdrop ok but then came up with this error

All modules compiled.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/eggdrop1.6.17/src/mod'

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

Now when doing the ./configure, it picks up libtcl8.4.so from the right place.

Am I doing something wrong ?

Any advice/suggestions are very much appreciated.

Many thanks
