My eggdrop can't background in linux...

When i run it with -n it works fine and connect...
But when i run it without it, it won't connect

Right now I am using screen and -nc to run the eggdrop

Any solution to make it run background?

This is most likely to your tcl-library incorrectly being detected as non-threaded. One solution seem to be to manually build and install libtcl rather than use rpm/deb/etc packages.
There are a few other threads about this, such as this one

so when i compile it...

i shld put --enable-threads in the option?

[nml375]

Using --enable-threads when compiling eggdrop will not help, as the configure-script will try to figure it out itself, and basically ignore your option :/

Manually installing tcl (threaded or non-threaded) has proven successful in solving this issue before.
