Problems relating to dict in particular, and tvrage.tcl which seems to be the only modern eggdrop tcl implementing its use, can be discussed here. This topic is getting buried in the tvrage thread and it's a FAQ at this point, with the number of people asking about dict, and the level of intelligence in that thread rapidly shrinking

You can find dict here:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/5042

If you're on a windoze platform and can't get dict to work, try it under Cygwin (I'll trust you to be intelligent enough to google Cygwin and find out what it is and how to install/run it. I'm not supporting windoze or Cygwin, although if you have problems compiling/installing eggdrop and tcl, you can ask in the Eggdrop Support forum where such questions belong, and maybe someone will have a clue for you. Otherwise, ask on a Cygwin forum somewhere else..)

hi, im getting this error when running ./configure, ive also tried ./configure --enable-threads --enable-shared and a few other ./configure options.

[rosc2112]

I recently came across a somewhat similar error with a shell script, fixed it by changing #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash, see if changing that in your configure script helps. No idea why it made a diff, since /bin/sh is /bin/bash but in non-interactive mode..

[GaveUp]

That's a known bug in the configure script. The fix is mentioned in the other thread.

@rosc: actually, /bin/sh is'nt always the same binary as /bin/bash. Many systems do symlink /bin/sh to point to bash, but you cannot rely on it.
Especially, according to the Single UNIX Specification, /bin/sh should provide a shell environment that mimic's the Bourne shell (Linux uses bash - Bourne Again SHell - which extends Bourne shell).

attempt to provide package dict 8.5 failed: package dict 8.5.2 provided instead

So it loaded 8.5.2.. What's the problem?

tvrage says:tvrage.tcl error: dict required.

[ace0174]

tvrage.tcl + dict in windrop up and running.

bump

[darkwolf]

Do you have to manually load the dict module in the eggdrop config file or is the tvrage script should automaticly load it up ?

[rosc2112]

The script will load it, if it's available.

[tassat]

ok i need some direction i have

version

tcl8.5-dev_8.5.3-2
