I am attempting to run eggdrop on a synology DS207 NAS. I was able to get bootstrap Ipkg installed, and did the Ipkg eggdrop install.

It installed eggdrop1.6.17, seems there isnt an ipkg yet for the newer versions.

I tried to install eggdrop manually, but there is no compiler installed, and there doesnt seem to be a gcc Ipkg for my DS207.

Anyway, I tweaked my .conf file and did ./configure -m myconfig.conf, and this is what happened:

STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type: /msg mybot hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.

[20:37] === mybot: 1 channels, 0 users.
[20:37] main: entering loop
[20:37] Trying server irc.choopa.net:6667
./eggdrop: relocation error: /opt/eggdrop/modules/dns.so: undefined symbol: __res_mkquery

Anyone ever see this error before, and know how to fix it?

This is my first time using linux, and even getting this far has been a challenge, but now I'm really stumped, and feel I am so close to getting it to run.

Thanks for any help in advance.

I appreciate the reply, but "Google is your friend" unfortunately doesnt help me out to much. When I googled my error, I didnt see anything that would help me. It is possible there was something there, but maybe I just didnt understand what I was looking at since I am such a newb when it comes to working with linux.

The link you provided with "Libc b0rken update?" unfortunately didnt help me much either since I have no clue what that means. when I google libc update, I didnt find anything that would help me with my synology NAS running the powerpc version. But again, maybe there is something there and I just dont know what I am looking at.

Thanks anyway, I guess.

jtanner:
Using precompiled packages with these "non-standard" platforms can be really messy for a number of reasons.

Unfortunately, cross-compiling isn't trivial either. Especially when it comes to the configure-script, which will cause trouble with system-specific capabilities and properties.. I noticed your post on synology's forum, when running the ./configure, did you set CC, LD, CFLAGS, etc properly according to your platform? (as suggested in the "3rd-Party Apps Integration Guide" document). Apart from providing information on compilers, linkers, flags, and such, you might have to edit the configure-script to manually provide some information aswell.

Yea, I think I decided to drop the precompiled ipkg, and will continue trying to get eggdrop installed the regular way.

Now when I set the CC, LD, CFLAGS, etc properly (thanks for the tip), I get the dreaded:

checking for gcc... /usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

At least its a little better than "no compiler found"

Thanks for the help so far, speechles and nml375

Did some attempts myself, and after dealing with socklen_t, fighting env. over and over, I finally got it to compile neatly. However, linking failed as no compatible tcl-libraries was found...
Needless to say, I decided to put my attention elsewhere for a while as to save my keyboard
