compiling amsn

conanm4 · 05-16-2008, 11:35 PM

I have successfully compiled tcl8.4.19 and tk8.4.19, but when I go to configure amsn I get this error:
Can't find a usable init.tcl in the
following directories:
/usr/lib/tcl8.4 /usr/lib/tcl8.4 /lib/tcl8.4 /usr/library /library /tcl8.4.18
/library /usr/lib/tcl8.4
Any ideas?

I'm quite happy with konversation, xchat and pidgin:-) Btw, pidgin ships with Slackware 12.1 and it does let you connect to msn.

Well I managed to get it to work, but I really don't know why it worked. All I did was configure them to go into the usr folder. I don't understand why that made a difference because they ended up in the usr folder anyways. Oh well.

OK. I was going to mention init.tcl is present in /usr/lib/tcl8.4/init.tcl if you had tcl-8.4.18-i486-1 installed, which is the first directory mentioned in that list.
