Problem when compiling

2007-01-24T12:12:03-04:00

Ok, lets see if anyone can figure this out...

About a week ago, i installed Tcl/Tk Software's Tcl8.5 .. well then i removed the files...

today, I installed ActiveTcl8.4 to /opt/..... and exported the path.. tested i could use tclsh and was able to get a prompt.

go to compile eggy with and without the --with-tcl='path-to-tcl8.4' and when I go to make... i get :

Code:

./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directorymake: *** [modules] Error 127

I have done ldconfig -v and there is no reference to tcl8.5 at all. So why in the world am i getting an error about libtcl8.5.so? Is it hard coded to use a non-stable tcl library?

Any help would be appreciated.

I notice at the beginning of make, where it starts to compile, the path to tcl is listed as -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl8.5

Code:

gcc -pipe -o ../eggdrop bg.o botcmd.o botmsg.o botnet.o chanprog.o cmds.o dcc.o dccutil.o dns.o flags.o language.o match.o main.o mem.o misc.o misc_file.o modules.o net.o rfc1459.o tcl.o tcldcc.o tclhash.o tclmisc.o tcluser.o userent.o userrec.o users.o  -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl8.5 -lm -ldl -ldns -lnsl  md5/md5c.o compat/*.o `cat mod/mod.xlibs`touch ../eggdrop

2006-03-04T13:38:43-04:00

Code:

configure: warning:  The file '/usr/local/include/tcl8.4/tcl.h' given to option --with-tclinc is not valid.  configure will now attempt to autodetect both the Tcl library and header.checking for Tcl library... using /libchecking for Tcl header... using /checking whether the Tcl system has changed... yeschecking for Tcl version...checking for Tcl patch level...configure: error:  Your Tcl version is much too old for Eggdrop to use

i also tried reinstalling tcl 8.4.12 using apt, it did it but still the same error...

recompiling the source from tcl.tk also doen't suceed:

xyz:/tmp/tcl8.4.12/unix# make
tclAppInit.o(.gnu.linkonce.t.__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx+0x0): first defined here
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [tclsh] error 1
(./configure worked!)

hi,
i have a problem while compiling the eggdrop. it sais:

Code:

 Your Tcl version is much too old for Eggdrop to use. You should  download and compile a more recent version. The most reliable  current version is 8.4.6 and can be downloaded from  ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_4/.  See doc/COMPILE-GUIDE's 'Tcl Detection and Installation' section  for more information.

but this is exactly what i did. i installed activetcl in the latest version.
so i tried:

./configure --with-tcllib='/usr/local/ActiveTcl/lib/libtcl8.4.so' <-- this path IS correct

Code:

configure: warning:  You must specify both --with-tcllib and --with-tclinc for either to work.  configure will now attempt to autodetect both the Tcl library and header.configure: warning:  The file '' given to option --with-tcllib is not valid.  configure will now attempt to autodetect both the Tcl library and header.configure: warning:  The file '' given to option --with-tclinc is not valid.  configure will now attempt to autodetect both the Tcl library and header.checking for Tcl library... using /libchecking for Tcl header... using /checking whether the Tcl system has changed... yeschecking for Tcl version...checking for Tcl patch level...configure: error:

but where's the problem?
i also tried the preinstalled tcl (8.4.6-12) and made a downgrad to 8.4.6-9
always the same error.
my eggdrop is 1.6.17 (1.6.18 also doesn't work)

my system is a debian sarge server.

any ideas?
thx&greets,
soomon

i have same problem...
but the libtcl8.4.so is in the normal dir.. but eggdrop cant find it..
thought maybe a symboliclink error but after trying to set it .. it tells me that it is set and to the right path!

so pls help me out

Did you try the solution demond gave (edit .profile)?

.profile seems to have worked :)

Thank you very much for the prompt reply, the line in the .profile seems to have worked like a charm

put this in your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile:

Code:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=My_location; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

and you won't have to type it every time

or better yet, put LD_LIBRARY_PATH=My_location in your cron file (don't forget to run crontab afterwards)

I'm having same problem also, sorta....

2004-12-30T22:03:26-04:00

Hello I have been having the same problems on my redhat box, I did as mentioned above "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=My_location" and it fixed the problem so I could finish compile, problem is when I finished editing the eggdrop.conf file and went to start the eggdrop it was giving me the same error: ./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. If I redo the export command the eggdrop will start, but I have to redo the export command everytime I go to start the eggdrop for it to work correctly. My libtcl8.4.so file is hiding in /usr/local/lib/libtcl8.4.so and also in /tcl8.4.9/unix/libtcl8.4.so If you have any suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

and you don't have libtcl* under /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib?

you are root, right?

to install Tcl, unpack the tarball and simply type: `./configure ; make install' in the unix directory - that will install Tcl libs in default locations - /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib (or simply install it from your packages system, rpm or whatever)

then build your eggdrop as usual, it will find its Tcl lib where it's supposed to be
