Installation Problem: [error while loading shared libraries]

[oer]

Hello,

when i am trying to install eggdrop the compiling works, but the linking fails. Even if i try to make a static version i get this error message:


---------- Yeah! that's the compiling, now the linking! ----------

Linking eggdrop... (static version)

./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [static] Fehler 127

I used no special parameters for ./configure, only --prefix.
I installed TCL 8.4 in my homedirectory. The variables TCLLIB and TCLINC are set correctly.

I don't know what to do, can anyone give me a hint?

Thanx,
Markus

I havn't checked, but the --prefix argument may be causing this.

Most software uses this for the base install point, however some use it for other things too, EG base search directory.

Try configuring and compiling eggdrop without using --prefix.

To use a custom installation point, use the DEST argument for "make install"

EG
make install=/home/ppslim/myeggdrop

It's still the same problem even if i didn't use the --prefix argument

I believe that i made some mistakes during the TCL installation, i didn't use the --enable-shared option. But allthough i reinstalled TCL with it, it is still not working, what other things do i have to know when i want do build TCL with shared libraries ?

geetings,
Markus

AH it works now!

The path to the libs was not added to /etc/ld.so.conf.

After that linking works well!
