hello,

i am using a dedicated server and operating system is Fedora Core 4. when i tried to compile eggdrop, psybnc, bopm and neostats on that dedicated server it shows following errors :

For Psybnc :

[shadhin@server psybnc]$ make menuconfig
Initializing Menu-Configuration[*] Running Conversion Tool for older psyBNC Data.[*] Running Autoconfig.
System: Linux
Socket Libs: Internal.
Environment: Internal.
Time-Headers: in time.h and sys/time.h
Byte order: Big Endian.
IPv6-Support: Yes.
async-DNS-Support: No, using blocking DNS.
SSL-Support: Yes.

This needs the ncurses library. If it is not available, menuconf wont work. If you are using curses, use make menuconfig-curses instead.
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 1

For Bopm :

For Eggdrop :

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/COMPILE-GUIDE's 'Tcl Detection and Installation' section for more
information.

For Neostats :

gcc -MM -I. -Iadns -Ikeeper -Icurl -c conf.c > conf.d

Please tell me why this error occurs and how to fix it ?

Seems to me there are several reasons. For eggdrop, install TCL before trying to compile it (like it says) or if you have installed it, provide the path when starting the compilation. For Psybnc, make sure you have ncurses installed -- that's the last line you get before the error, so it's a good start. For the rest, you should read the INSTALL and/or README files to see what you need to have installed before they'll compile, and what options you can give to configure; you might specify something special in order to get it compile.

First of all, make sure that you have all the depending software for every piece of software you intend to compile.
