aMSN won't run, HELP!!


I downloaded the aMSN 0.94 slackware package. I used the KDE package handler as well as pkgtool, and they both seem to install the package correctly. However, when I try to ran the program by typing amsn in an open terminal from KDE, all I get is:
/usr/bin/env: wish: No such file or directory

I also tried installing amsn using the linux-installer.bin, however, when I try to run it(as ROOT, of course), it says "permission denied".

Any ideas?

Sorry, I forgot: I'm running an Slack 10, with KDE 3.2.3

I don't know the solution for the "/usr/bin/env: wish: No such file or directory"
error, but if you want to execute a file you must tell the system to use it as an
executable.
To do it just type (on the file directory):

chmod +x file_name

then you will be able to execute this file with: ./file_name

With this you should be able to run the installer.

Good look.

Many binary installers set user ID or group ID which are not valid on Slackware systems. From inside the directory where you unpacked it do:
chown -R root:bin ./*

Do you have tcl installed?
