MSN Messenger RPM.....

InSane103 · 07-10-2003, 12:40 AM

Ok, I installed an instant messenger client that can connect to the MSN Messenger network (I have dumb friends), I installed the RPM, and now I cannot find the file(s) it installed so that I may execute them!

This may be a dumb question, but I am a newbie.....

well what is the name of the app you installed? You might just try typing the name of the program in the terminal and that MIGHT work. However, some apps are a little bit different.

I think is amsn, anyway, it should be somewhere in the main menu.

find "amsn" in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin
if you cant find it...then try this
from /
type "find . -name "amsn"
it should tell you where the hell is the amsn
happy chatting

OK, I forgot the name of the client, I think it had like two c's before msn (kinda like ccmsn er something). But the site I visited at Mandrake is not loading.... http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=2252
I don't think it was amsn, I saw a site for amsn and it was in German....

Start a rpm manager and find the installed package (amsn for example). Then view the file list and you'll probably see something like /usr/local/bin/amsn

Good luck

Found the official site (I remember the first lines of the read me)

Whoa!
The Mandrake Forum FINALLY loaded the page, and it is aMSN????? Man this damn thing confuses me......

InSane103 · 07-10-2003, 05:19 AM

Ah hah!!!
/usr/share/amsn/

InSane103 · 07-10-2003, 05:20 AM

I also tried typing just "amsn":

Error in startup script: couldn't open "/usr/share/amsn/README": no such file or directory
while executing
"open "[file join $program_dir README]" r"
(procedure "cmsn_draw_about" line 18)
invoked from within
"cmsn_draw_about"
invoked from within
"if {$version != $config(last_client_version)} {
cmsn_draw_about

}"
(file "/usr/bin/amsn" line 2684)

Got that.....

I have finally decided to destroy aMSN and reinstall it.....
Missing files!

InSane103 · 07-10-2003, 05:32 AM

The file is still missing!!!! There is only a link to the READ ME file.....

If you are using a tar.gz file, I suggest you download the rpm package.

InSane103 · 07-10-2003, 05:35 AM

I think I found the file........... but I can't copy it to the location I need it in.....

InSane103 · 07-10-2003, 05:37 AM

I used the rpm...
