Can't install eggdrop on shell [message #5704] Thu, 29 January 2009 09:26 Go to next message

Hello, I have a problem, when I configure eggdrop with command: ./configure, I receive a error:
checking for Tcl library... found /usr/lib/libtcl8.5.so
checking for Tcl header... {not found}
checking whether the Tcl system has changed... yes
configure: error:

  Tcl cannot be found on this system.

  Eggdrop requires Tcl to compile. If you already have Tcl installed on
  this system, and I just wasn't looking in the right place for it, re-run
  ./configure using the --with-tcllib='/path/to/libtcl.so' and
  --with-tclinc='/path/to/tcl.h' options. See doc/COMPILING's 'Tcl Detection
  and Installation' section for more information.


what I have to install in my shell, to complete my eggdrop configuration? Smile P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

If you're using Debian/Ubuntu try:

apt-get install tcl-dev tk-dev


If you're using CENTOS/Fedora/RedHat

yum install tcl-dev tk-dev


Should help you Smile

Picking up from Memlok-staff's post, its best practice to install TCL from source, due to thread issues. Head over to http://tcl.tk/software/tcltk/download.html and download the latest release.


You should then extract and compile the source as follows:

tar -zxvf tcl8.5.6-src.tar.gz
cd tcl8.5.6/unix
./configure [configure-time-options] (Default configure options are good enough - so only use these if there is a compile problem)
make
make test
make install


And that its, and to just note, change "tcl8.5.6-src.tar.gz" and "tcl8.5.6" for the version of TCL you have downloaded.

You can compile Tk source in the same way, but its not required for TCL to work.
