eggdrop crashes on channel join.

Update: I upload v1.6.13 again and ran it using ./eggdrop -n and it works fine. Wish i had done this at the start :-/

Yes.

Simply typing a command, will use only the files that are in the PATH environment.

To execute a file within the current directory, or specific directory, you have to give a full, or relative path to the file.

In *nix and windows, .. means parent directory and . mean current directory. Thus ./eggdrop is giving a relative directory.

Ok, i have managed to figure out the problem (at least i think i have).

I deleted all the old files then, out of curiosity, tried to run the eggdrop. To my suprise, it ran (although it spewed a lot of error messages about the lack of modules and the like). So it would seem, that unbeknown to me, my shell has a presinstalled eggdrop1.6.10 !

I uploaded the 1.6.10 eggy and installed/configured (i presume this is the correct thing to do) and low and behold, all my problems have gone!

Now i feel like a bit of an idiot. But believe me, at no time was i told there was an eggdrop there (my shell account was empty with no files on).

Thanks to ppslim, egghead, photon and tainted for all your help. I wouldn't have fathomed it out without you.

Tainted- am i correct in thinking that if I was to try 1.6.13 again, using ./eggdrop would force it to use the 1.6.13 rather than the 1.6.10? Though tbh, after all this hassle, I am just happy (overjoyed!) to get it running and stable.

Cheers fellas.

I start the bot using Putty SSH.

the command line i use is; eggdrop -n , and my shell provider does not provide precompiled eggdrops.

This may be a wild shot, but give it a try anyways. At your shell prompt, do 'which eggdrop'. If you are issuing 'eggdrop -n', try changing to your /home/user/eggdrop/ dir and do './eggdrop -n'. The './' tells the shell to use the binary in the working dir, rather than one in the system's path. They may have a bad compile or badly configured one installed for global use on there, which could be the cause of all your problems.

Are you sure you have deleted every file?

This is the most confusing thread that has hit me yet.

You state the files have been delted, yet it still shows 1.6.10. This can only leave the fact that you are compiling 1.6.10, and not .13.

This is only definate however, if you have deleted the files properly.

The shell i use does not have pre-compiled eggdrops for me to use. I have deleted ALL old files and started again several times :-/

The thing with the file attributes was my fault, i was decompressing the eggdrop.tar file then uploading it (due to my lack of shell knowledge). However, ppslim put me right on that one.

Thanks for your continued help!

Ok. It would seem to me that neither the configure, make or install failed. (parts of ./configure are meant to fail, thats how it determines which bits it can and cant use on this system)

However, I am convinced that the reporting on 1.6.10 as the version when you installed 1.6.13 IS the problem.

Question 1. Does the shell you are on have precompiled eggdrops for you to use? If it does then you are probably running that, although this is possible with local modules through the use of symlinks. this could/would cause a crash.

If not, then please seek out and destroy any directorys containing old eggdrop stuff, or, of course delete ALL eggdrop stuffand start again. Its possible that there are two symlinks to eggdrop, one to 1.6.10 and one to 1.6.13 - due to being in the wrong dir (or summat) you are executing the wrong one. look for symlinks.

I'm also pretty confused about you having to change permissions - never had to do that before - what *nix system are you running?

It would seem that the "./configure" process failed, though the compile process didn't.

This may or may not be the cause.

One more log, may give the answer.

When doing the "make install" process, can you also make this log, using

make install > install.log

Changing to whatever you use (if anything, as it's not comulsory).

You will find that RAR is primelary used by being deling in software, movie and other piracy.

As such, there has never been a real need to use RAR based encoding otherwise, due tot he fact it's overkill for files of this size.

Can you either create a PkZIP compatable (.zip) or gzip compressed versions of these.

To create a zip on most popular *nix systems, use

zip

This will create a new archive with the files appended to it.

To create a gzip compressed file, please use (most compatiable with *nix systems)

gzip

This will compress the file, and add a .gz tot he end, removeing the original file.

Ok, done all the steps PPSlim gave to the letter.

heres the logs-
www.proxo.co.uk/make.rar
www.proxo.co.uk/config.rar

There didn't seem to be any wierd messages during the compile etc.

OK - After going through a series of brain fart, the only thing I can sugest at this current time, is to detail the process you have used to get this stage.

IE.

1: Download from
2: Uploaded said file to shell
3: Unpacked the said file using "tar -zxf "
4: Run "./configure"
5: Run "make config"

However, when you doing these step, please read through the output and check for error or unusual messages. Post these along with the step.

On top, can you please upload a copy of the file "config.log" from the eggdrop directory on the shell, to some sutiable web-space and paste it's link here. This may help.

On top[2], when running the command "make" (the one where you do it on it's own), run the command as "make > make.log". This will make a file called make.log. Again, upload this to some sutable web-space and paste the link.

In theory, there should be enough information to see if we can resolve it some more.
