Topic: TCL for eggrops on 5.1.2

[Caos]

Hi people

i downloaded and executred all the files required to compile and when i typed ./configure i got this message

 I can't find Tcl 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,
  set the environment variables TCLLIB and TCLINC so I will know where
  to find 'libtcl.a' (or 'libtcl.so') and 'tcl.h' (respectively). Then
  run 'configure' again.

  Read the README file if you don't know what Tcl is or how to get it
  and install it.

Ok now with very limited knowledge of linux where can i find the file it requires ??
or do i need it or not
other information that may be relevent is that the eggdrop file is eggdrop1.6.13

thanks

At command line type

# locate tcl

It will tell you where libtcl.so and tcl.h are located. You can then set the enviroment variables TCLLIB and TCLINC.

Here...

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/6.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/tcl-8.0.5-35.i386.rpm

download that, and do this : rpm -Uvh tcl-8.0.5-35.i386.rpm

Besides that, you also need "make" (if not already installed). Can be found on
http://rpmfind.net
