I'm like a BIGTIME Newbie with linux so be very explicit please.
I tried installing AMSN on LindowOS 4 (which is the same as Mandrake 9.1 i guess). When installing it ./amsn in the directory that i extracted it, it said "/usr/bin/wish bad interpreter" . So i guess it's cause of tcl thing.
So i tried to install tcl8.4 but it says "not enough cc in $PATH".
What's that and what should i do ?
What do i have in my path that i don't have enough ?
Ok Thanks but one thing though. I have problem with compiler right !?!
I've downloaded gcc and when i write ./configure i get this :
/usr/local/gcc-3.3# ./configure
configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld host.
created "Makefile" in /usr/local/gcc-3.3 using "mt-frag"
./configure: line 8: cc: command not found
*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
You have to install gcc after downloading it. Since you don't have a compiler, you obviously can't use source code to compile it. Look for a binary package built for LindowOS 4. It should be on your install CD.
Do you have any idea of what LindowOS 4 uses for a package manager? Have you attempted installing using that?
If you can't find it that way and if you can handle rpm, search rpmfind for it.
indows OS 4 uses the same thing as Mandrake 9.1 but i don't know what you mean by binary package. When you say package manager, i don't know if RPM v.4.0.4 is that but it seems to be installed there.
I have 1 install CD, and 2 CDs with a bunch of RPM files like KOffice, OpenOffice, gtk, etc but i don't know which one you r talking about.
