I'm trying to follow the LinuxFormat Guide to creating an IRC bot on the Raspberry Pi. I got everything working (Eggdrop and Hybrid loaded flawlessly), but when I tried to install Egg-Fu, I got this error:

pi@raspberrypi ~/eggdrop $ ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.simple.conf

Why is this happening?.

    Your conf file is misconfigured: egg-fu is trying to open a **directory** and read text from it. – glenn jackman Aug 11 '14 at 13:35
  • Of all the things! I didn't realise that you had to set a path to a **FILE** for the birth certificate - I thought it would auto-name! Thanks! – Nick L Aug 13 '14 at 09:27
