You can get the wish package for red hat 9 at http://wish.sourceforge.net

Or you could try
rpm -qa | grep -e X10 -e x10

I think the wish command your looking for is part of the TCL/TK gui tool sets, specifically, wish is part of TK.

If you look at his rpm query in the original
post you'll probably find that he's aware
of that ;)

The problem is that it doesn't seem to be installed.
CODE][root@myroom ben]# rpm -ql `rpm -qa | grep -i tk` | grep wish
[root@myroom ben]# ./applications/msn/amsn[/CODE]
If it were, he'd had it returned with my
modified query.

Lol, tink you got it in one

. i have already installed the rpms for TCL and TK.
The 2 package names are:
tcl-8.4.5-7.src.rpm
and
tk-8.4.5-8.src.rpm.

installing these packages have not had any effect. can anyone advise me on any other methods?
thank you very much.

I know that wish is part of TK but after installing "tk-8.4.5-8.src.rpm" i do not have the wish ability.

How did you install those two
rpms mate? They are SOURCE rpms,
thus a simple rpm -i won't do you any
good ...

Cheers,
Tink

yeh i wondered about what to do with source rpms, what should i do with them? i did "rpm -Uhv" which is what i run all rpms with. i have sorted the problem now anyway, i downloaded new copys of tcl & tk uninstalled the previous ones and installed the fresh ones and then ran "rpm -ql <tk> | grep wish". could you please let me know what to do with the ".src.rpm" files because i think that was my problem before.
Thanks people, Ben

Install the rpm: tclx-8.4.5-7.i386.rpm RH9 disc-3 and youll get wish. Worked for me :-)

/yum install amsn
/yum install tcl
/yum install tk
/rpm -ivh <amsn rpm>
/amsn

enjoy
