Ubuntu install amsn problem
After 30 mins of googling, I was unable to find out how I can install a package (amsn) that i downloaded from the internet. All the forums point out that it can be done through apt-get but I am unable to make it work. This is the output that i get:
Code:
Code:
root@CodeMonkey:/home/gill/Desktop # apt-get install amsn Thanks |
Code:
apt-get install amsn Code:
dpkg -i downloaded_file.deb |
apt-get install amsn doesnt work unless u include more repositories. I figured it out though.. I am loving this system. mrcheeks, thanks for the tip about the downloaded package.

I presume you did add something to your sources.list, or perhaps uncomment some lines.
Could you please tell me what ? :D |
Likewise
I'm having a similar problem. The only difference is I'm using aMSN ver 0.98.4. I'm told to...
In order to install amsn, or even to be able to launch it, you will need to compile it first. To do so, you must first configure the package by executing the command > ./configure You must have the tcl-dev and tk-dev packages installed on your system, please refer to your system package management software or website in order to find these packages and to install them prior to running the ./configure script. Once the configure script finished without any error, you can proceed with the compilation, it is as simple as typing : > make You can now launch amsn by typing > ./amsn Or you can install it with the command > make install Then you can use the > amsn command to launch future sessions of amsn. You can also create a .deb and .rpm package by launching respectively the command > make deb and > make rpm For any other help, please refer to the FAQ or wiki or visit the forums of amsn at, but make sure you search for an answer to your question before asking it, it might have already been answered. have fun. I'm still not having fun. If that helped you, then great, but please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm used to just running .deb files, so yeah. I've no idea. DeeJ. |
