C'mon, try details. WHAT program? WHAT error? Have you tried google?

ranger12002 · 10-30-2003, 05:16 PM

its called "wish" and google gives me 10 million pages with the word wish on it lol

bash: ./install: /usr/bin/wish: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

program is called iaol

Most likely you failed to install tcl...

Wish is the "graphical Tcl shell",
so to speak.

It certainly IS on the CD's

im not that familiar with slackware cause ive only used it for about 2 weeks...any idea how to install it from my cd? i got slackware 9 1 cd

Tinkster · 10-30-2003, 06:43 PM

mount the #1 cd
then do

Code:

su -           (if you're not root already)
installpkg <your_cd_mountpoint>/slackware/tcl/tcl*tga

That's it.

I suggest that you read the man pages for
pkgtool, installpkg, removepkg and upgradepkg.

And I had figured out the first day of Slack-usage
how packages are installed, and where on the CD
they live ;) Reading README's really helps!

Tink

i got tcl and everything installed now and when i went to install the program i got an error anyone know why this happens?

couldn't write file "/usr/bin/aol": illegal operation on a directory

im trying to install iaol on slack9

Tinkster · 10-31-2003, 10:59 PM

The final step of installations usually has to be done
as root, since no other user has (and shouldn't have)
write permission to other directories than /home/<username>
and /tmp.

So if you
su
make install
it should be fine.

What is it that you installed? It sounds
like a palm-OS emulator and the process
you describe is the calibration?
