use -tcltk im not sure why the plugin wont compile, it does for me tried reinstalling tcl ?
perhaps this is a binutils bug ? what happens if you run `file /usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so` ?
Must have a corrupt tcl installation. I don't normally need to re-build anything but I did it anyway since the lib appeared corrupt. Now it reports 'Segmentation fault' which I believe to be normal when trying to execute a library file. Rebuilding xchat worked and this bug can be closed. Sorry for creating a panic :)
no panic here, no worries. 'file <filename>' describes the sort of file it sees, he didn't mean execute it or something (and file shouldnt segfault really).
I must not have read your post properly, it was one of those days. For the record: /usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped I must have some filesystem problems as that's the 3rd file to be corrupt. Thanks for your patience, always a pleasure. -Paul
