At first I tried to install eggdrop, but I said I needed tcl. Ok, so I downloaded and installed tcl8.4.7.

I have tcl8.4.7 installed on rh9, and the libs are in the following location:

/usr/local/lib/libtcl8.4.so , etc

I 'make clean', then './configure' eggdrop, and everything goes fine. (It doesn't bitch about needing tcl anymore, and at the bottom, it says do 'make config'. So I do 'make config'

Everything goes fine, and it tells me to do 'make'.

So I go get my runts, and when I come back, I have this error:

All modules compiled.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/eggdrop1.6.17/src/mod'

Test run of ./eggdrop -v:
./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [modules] Error 127

I've tried to configure with the --with-tcllib=/usr/local/lib/ and it gives me the error that my tcl is old or something (but it's the newest version)

Anyone have any ideas?

Well... that worked for installing it. It makes now, and I was able to 'make install DEST=/usr/local/eggdrop' And that seemed to work too. But now when I try to start the eggdrop. I am getting that same error about now being able to find the binary again. Any idea why it was able to make ok, and not it's not able to run?

You weren't doing anything wrong MtM Smile

This particular problem seems to arise with the latest Red Hat version for some reason.

you have to insert /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf and then do "ldconfig".
Now you can compile your egg Wink

just to let people know... the same problem occurs in fedeora core... and this does work as a fix.... not just for eggyies

do a `ldd eggdrop' and note the location of tcl library that eggdrop's binary is linked against

then before starting your bot, export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/that/location/directory

thus eggdrop will be able to find its tcl lib

Hi. I have read all of the posts regarding libtcl8.4.so and I am having exactly the same problems. I am using ubuntu.

I have tried all of the suggestions that I could find, but I am still having the same problem of the file not being found.

I have followed the suggestions from the posts that are on this forum. What other suggestions would I be talking about? I have been stuck trying to get this eggdrop to work for over seven hours and it's about to go out of the window! ah!

what's stopping you from describing your exact experience with that? just explain what you did try, in details, and I'll try to help you out - you must have messed up something
