No, it is not. I get the errors from within eggdrop as stated above. Using BDK's it produces a "can't find package rss" error on eggdrop start, despite it being in the same location. I'm sure I'm missing something, but TclRSS allows eggdrop to start, but the feed script itself is erroring.

*sigh*

I'm going to great lengths to get this thing used by someone other than myself hehehe

follow these steps:

go to BDK's rss monitor page and copy the first part of his code, the one that implements rss package (in the first textbox) to a file named rss.tcl
create a directory named rss in your home directory
copy rss.tcl to that directory
fire up tclsh
in tclsh, type pkg_mkIndex rss
exit tclsh
in your eggdrop.conf, add this: lappend auto_path /home/you/rss
in the config, source my script
rehash the bot

this should do the job, provided you have TclLib and TclXML installed (or ActiveTcl, which has those bundled in it)

Ok, BDK's now loaded in eggdrop. BDK's is apparently missing a close bracket somewhere, I klugged it and added one to the end otherwise pkg_mkIndex produced an empty file (other than the comments). Also, current version of 'snit' is 1.0, BDK's rss.tcl referenced 0.9. Perhaps there's too many variables in all this?

Getting a different error with eggdrop now...

Tcl error [::news::timer]: invalid command name "Channel"

well obviously you are missing something in your Tcl libs, since [Channel] is actually a class (snit package is used to implement this)

I can't advise you further... you might want to experiment with different installations of TclLib and TclXML, standalone or as included in ActiveTcl

well im a n00b in the area of tcl, but i want this script to work as well :/ ive followed everything you mentioned above, but whenever i go to start it, i get a 'can't find package rss' error, im pretty sure i did everything right cause i have a pkgIndex.tcl in my rss folder :/ any help would be greatly appreciated.

and you have your rss dir lappend-ed to your auto_path as I described above? and TclLib & TclXML installed as well?

well i do not have axs to root, is there a way i can see what versions i have installed...i just started using this linux shell about a week ago Very Happy

im a pretty fast learner, wish i knew about all this tho

you don't have to be root, read again the step-by-step guide I posted

also, you can install TclLib and TclXML in your home directory (actually, in the lib subdirectory of your home dir)

but since you are so new to Linux, maybe you should start with simpler things first, and forget about that Tcl package install stuff for now

im trying to get in touch with the box owner and see if he has those installed, if theyre both installed, it should work flawlessly right? Very Happy

well i couldnt get it to find the package, so i just sourced it in the tcl...but now i get this error

[20:29] Tcl error in file 'pokerrear.conf':
[20:29] couldn't save command result in variable
while executing
"catch {package require cgraph} version"

demond · Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2005 11:48 pm Post subject:

that means TclLib's initialization conflicts with eggdrop's version global variable, since [catch] expects version to be a string but finds out that it's a list

solution: upgrade TclLib, you have an ancient version

come on folks, am I the only one managed to install TclLib & TclXML and made this to work??

Hi!

I followed this discussion recently, and since it looks to be still active i signed up to take part.

I am trying to install this RSS script aswell and i got easily installed tDOM, TclLib and TclXML under Debian using apt-get as root, but still it says that it couldn't find the package once i launch eggdrop.

Do i have to recompile my eggdrop, or how can i tell the bot where to look for the packages?

demond · Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2005 10:58 am Post subject:

did you read this?

basically, you need to [lappend] to your auto_path the location of TclLib, TclXML and BDK's package, provided that those have been installed properly, and pkgIndex.tcl file(s) have been created, automatically or otherwise (manually with pkg_mkIndex)
