hello i ve recently purchased a VPS and when i try to ./configure
i get below error what to do? thanx in advance

checking for working mmap... yes
checking for Tcl library... not found
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.

See doc/COMPILE-GUIDE's 'Tcl Detection and Installation' section for more
information.

Your system does not have tcl installed (or it is installed in a location unknown to the configure-script). If your system comes with a package manager (most do), and you have access to it; that would probably be the simplest way to get going.
You'd then have to install both tcl-libraries and development-files (usually called "tcl" and "tcl-dev" or "tcl-devel", exact names may wary with your server OS flavor/distribution). Possibly, a server admin might be able to help with this.

If that's not an option, you'll have to download, build, and install tcl yourself - as described in the doc/COMPILE-GUIDE mentioned in your error message.
