Weird error installing amsn
 

Been browsing through this forum but couldn't find an answer for my problem.

I'm trying to install the latest version of amsn on my Madrake 9.0 box. I unpacked the tarball, cd to the msn folder and tried ./amsn and wish amsn but they both give the same error:

[root@Linuxbak msn]# ./amsn

If somebody has an idea (cause shouting at it doesn't seem to work that well...:D ) that'll be great...

Did you unpacked it as it says in the webpage?? I mean tar xvzf amsn-0_xx.tar.gz

Yup done :

$ tar xvzf amsn-0_xx.tar.gz

$ cd msn

$ ./amsn
or
$ wish amsn

If command wish is not found, you need to install tcl/tk packages (tcl & tk).

(tcl/tk is installed)

I have a solution: Use kmess or gaim ;)
