When I try to ./configure the most recent STABLE eggdrop from a default install of RHES4u3 I get this error:

...
checking for Tcl library... found /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so
checking for Tcl header... {not found}
checking whether the Tcl system has changed... yes
configure: error:

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.


The system does have TCL/TK installed.

/usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so is where it should be but for some reason I cant seem to find the tclinc file needed to compile.

Included is a list of the files that came with the TCL rpm.

I don't see an include file anywhere in the list from the RPM.

I would really like to understand what I am doing wrong or missing to get eggdrop up and running.

Help?

I just did a quick check on a RH box I have access to and the result is below:

I am not all that familia with RH so am unable to explain why anything would be missing.

It looks to me as if you're missing the -dev package, and only got the runtime libraries installed.
