well then, how did you know that "eggdrop starts then nothing" is due to threaded or not-threaded Tcl

I dont exactly know if its the mix of these 2, maybe it was just the mix of 2 versions. At least I got the bot running background threaded and non-threaded by specifiing the lib used.
Then only evidence I have is that compiling the bot linked to the threaded version as non-threaded produced the same problem (in my case it was the threaded 8.4.9 in /usr/lib with 8.4.12 headers in /usr/local/included, since there was no tcl.h in /usr/include for 8.4.9).

I'm not sure if eggdrop works with threaded libtcl at all, even if compiled with --enable-tcl-threads; at least not on FreeBSD

It works, at least on debian, but it spawns 2 childs. Maybe thats why it didnt work on your shell.

I experience now the same problem (eggdrop only working in foreground, though it starts without problems in background). And I have only one tcl versiob installed on my system.
I tried both --disable-tcl-threads and --enable-tcl-threads, but nothing helped 
I'm using 1.6.18 and 8.5a6 |

--enable-tcl-threads has no influence on the configure-process, only --disable-tcl-threads.
In most cases, there have been several different libraries on the system without the users knowledge - most often one non-devel library with threads, and one non-threaded in a non-standard location.
The following information would be helpful:
- output from "locate libtcl" and "locate tcl.h".
- output from "ldd eggdrop".
- output from "grep -i tcl config.log" (config.log found where you compiled your eggdrop).

One more interesting fact:

# ps aux |grep eggdrop |grep -v grep
bas 1303 3.2 1.7 22920 10116 pts/9 Sl+ 21:03 0:11 ./eggdrop -n
Eggdrop is in background:
# ps aux |grep eggdrop |grep -v grep
bas 1774 0.0 0.9 20668 5496 pts/9 S 21:25 0:00 ./eggdrop
From man ps:
S Interruptible sleep (waiting for an event to complete)
l is multi-threaded (using CLONE_THREAD, like NPTL pthreads do)
+ is in the foreground process group
So, in background it is not threaded???? |

Thnx for the info.
Indeed there is only one library installed on your system, and it is identified as non-threaded.
I did stumble onto this archived mail a few minutes ago, so most likely your system is indeed threaded. In this case, you'll need to modify the generated eggdrop.h file after running ./configure to coax the compiler into thinking the library is threaded. Simply add the following line somewhere at the end of the file, and recompile:
| Code: | | #define HAVE_TCL_THREADS 1 |

Thank you so much! This was helpful, now everything works as a charm! |

STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type: /msg ForumBot hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.
You have installed modules but have not selected an encryption
module, please consult the default config file for info.
but the bot still doesn't run..
anyone can help? |

You forgot to load a (the) module that provides encryption capabilities. Without this, your eggdrop will not start. Most people settle for the blowfish module for this. See your config file for further details.
