Hi all,

I'm a new user to Linux (my distribution is RH8.0) and I have downloaded AMSN (MSN Messenger Clone for Linux) and i don't know how to install it.

Is there anyone who can help please???????

aMSN doesn't need to be compiled or anything.. You just have to
a) download it
b) Go to the shell :
+ Get into the correct directory (where you downloaded it)
+ uncompress it (tar -xvzf amsn-0_xx.tar.gz)
c) Type "cd msn" without the quotes.
d) Type "wish amsn" without the quotes.
