I have been trying to set up eggdrop for 5 hours.
I can't get the eggdrop to locate the tcl scripts. I type in ./configure --with-tcllib='/home/bartosz/tcl8.4.6/unix/libtcl8.4.so' --with-tclin='/home/bartosz/tcl8.4.6/generic/tcl.h'

and it alwyas says the file'' give to option --with-tclin is not valid
how can i change that?

well, either your system doesn't have tcl installed, or you are pointing it in the wrong direction. Out of curiosity, why do you need to compile this way? Why can't you simply change directory to the eggdrop and ./configure?

the --with options only want a path, not a filename.. so.. --with-tcllib=/home/bartosz/tcl8.4.6/unix --with-tclin='/home/bartosz/tcl8.4.6

If you actually installed libtcl in /home/bartosz/tcl8.4.6, you'll need to add /home/bartosz/tcl8.4.6/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig as well, or you'll get errors about libtcl missing when you try to run eggdrop.. Most people install tcl in the standard directories, like /usr or /usr/local (in other words, just do ./configure;make;make install to install tcl)

well the problem is my linux distribution
ubuntu is a pice of crap
it had no gcc and the tcl script had to be installed through root
after i did install the tcl.... my internet went away for some reason... : (
very sad

Well, see, that's why I use slackware and compile everything by hand Smile

Then there's no one to blame if it doesn't work but me (or occassionally, the rare bug in the source code itself, which I can usually sort out with a bit of research, googling and pestering the developer Smile
