| 203383 | 2003-12-31 21:19:00 | Well, if it isn't the CD, then what? I try to install and it just fails when it gets to the tk file. The other files in that section install correctly. Can't find tcl packages anywhere... |

| 203384 | 2003-12-31 21:33:00 | Note down what CD it wants you to install it from (eg, CD3 I think it was) Put the CD in and mount it (mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom) then: cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS (Or a similar folder structure, I cannot remember coz its been a while...) ls | grep tk ls | grep tcl Now, run the following two commands and post back if you get errors: rpm -Uvh tcl*.rpm rpm -Uvh tk*.rpm That should have installed both tcl/tk so you can run: wish /usr/local/msn/amsn Chill. |

Heading out on vintage car rally, will post wjhen I get back. |

| 203386 | 2003-12-31 21:46:00 | That complicates life then doesnt it... Hmm.... Dont do this immediately, wait for somebody else to agree/disagree, but Im going to suggest: rpm -ivh tcl*.rpm --force --nodeps rpm -ivh tk*.rpm --force --nodeps This will install the new rpm's and leave the old ones, hopefully satisfy'ing the lot.. |

| 203388 | 2004-01-01 04:31:00 | I have just installed amsn to see whether I get the dependency errors, and I didn't. I downloaded amsn-0_83.tar.gz Went into the folder where I had saved it and opened a terminal window with the right-click option. Stay as whatever user you are logged in as (don't use su). Entered: tar xvzf amsn-0_83.tar.gz This resulted in a large list of files scrolling past. Then in the same window enter in: cd msn Then enter in ./asm (there is a full stop in front of the / which may not show clearly on this page). This should open up the program. Just try this first. |

When I did: wish /usr/share/msn/amsn It opened... can't all be bad. Anyway... how do I get it into the little 'Start Menu'? |

| 203390 | 2004-01-01 04:49:00 | Okay Dokey - you got it running anyway now - excellant :D >Then enter in ./asm Another typo alert - that should of course read ./amsn >how do I get it into the little 'Start Menu'? You are using Gnome? Well I use KDE, but the general gist of these instruction should give you enough to follow your nose. Right-click on the Gnome Red Hat which opens up the menu, and look for menu editor (or something along those lines). Pick a category that you want your shortcut to go under, like "Internet". Create a new item, give it a name and under command, enter in wish /usr/share/msn/amsn. Click apply. Then go and try the new shortcut. If my instructions bear no correlation to how Gnome does things and you can't figure out how to do this, let me know and I will boot up Gnome (I have it also installed) and give some more decent instructions. :) |

| 203391 | 2004-01-01 06:05:00 | Try this (as root) ln -s /usr/local/msn/amsn /usr/bin/amsn Then you can just: wish amsn Right-click on your Taskbar and click: Add to Panel -Launcher Follow your nose from there... :-) |

| 203392 | 2004-01-01 17:37:00 | OK, got it into the Launcher, but can't seem to get it into the menu... operation failed or something to the likes of it. Anyway, now I feel a bit more at home here, and now it's time to explore!! See if I can get into my hard drives somehow... want to watch those TV episodes on there. |
