i have to add a line at the top of the config file that points to the executable

that's not necessary if you start your bot with eggdrop bot.conf (from cron job or otherwise)

i seem to remember this problem occuring when the bot is being run from the `default` directory (home/user/eggdrop). When you use make install, give it a destination directory, like make install DEST=/home/user/botnick. No need to create a new directory, eggdrop will do it for you

/usr/bin/install is a program/utility, not a directory

what operating system do you try to build eggdrop on?

also, what's in your config.log file?

heh, I didn't know eggdrop doesn't support implicit make target in make install like other UNIX software... just took a look at Makefile.in and indeed it doesn't... anyway

try starting over once again and follow the exact steps for building eggdrop (configure, make config, make, make install), also make sure that your build directory has read/write access permissions i.e. you can create files, check your quota etc.

[*****@localhost eggdrop]$ make install

yeah I did, and recommended you do that right after make config, without doing single make first
