i'm sorry if this has already been discussed around the forums, but i couldn't find anything related to my problem.

i'm using fedora core 5 as home OS, and running eggdrop 1.6.18 (rpm build) for tcl script tests. i used a standard eggdrop config (only modified what i needed), and it worked. now i've tried adding a script to the eggdrop - which required rewriting the .conf file (i've used this script many times before and had absolutley no problems with it).

The problem is that instead of looking for the modules in /usr/lib/eggdrop/ where they are installed, it looks in my home directory. What can i do to solve this problem? (I know i could create some symbolic links in my home dir from the modules dir, but i'd rather keep my home folder as empty as possible)

Checked the "mod-path" setting?

it was setup correctly
Code:
set mod-path "/usr/lib/eggdrop/"

some other problems appeared and i started to get some bogus errors, so i guess that the rpm wasn't working right. i removed it and compiled eggdrop from source and now everything works perfect.

eggdrop modules are definitely not compiled into any other place other than ~./<eggdrop folder name>/modules after compilation.

actually they are just where you executed "make" Very Happy. after installation of the make script they are supposed to be there. I wrote an installer for some shared eggdrop modules and to avoid possible problems I just created symlinks from the original path modules to the actual ones in /usr/share/eggdrop Very Happy.

I should edit that post to:

"Under normal circumstances". Razz
