i have compiled my tcl and eggdrop all ok
but...
now the eggdrop says

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

i have the lib in:
/usr/lib/
and linked in:
/lib/

where to place the lib?

Read the COMPILE-GUIDE in your ~./doc directory.

already done
my egg dont find the lib...

[rosc2112]

It should *not* be in /lib, it belongs in /usr/lib.. /lib is for system-dependant libs required for starting up the system. Get rid of the symlink in /lib and make sure the actual binary lib is in /usr/lib, and make sure you have read permissions for it.

i tryed ./eggdrop -v with root rights so it should have all rights...
/usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so
its there....

EDIT//

checking for Tcl library... found /usr/local/lib/libtcl8.4.so
checking for Tcl header... found /usr/local/include/tcl.h

the compile found the lib but the eggdrop doesnt find...

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

thanks guys
i solved the problem:
/etc/ld.so.conf
adding line: /usr/local/lib
and do
ldconfig

will solve this

echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf && /sbin/ldconfig as root would have done that. Why don't you search the forum?

I'm using a server that had a minimum debian install and now it fineds everything it's supposed to find
