benben 0 Posted February 14, 2003 [/color][size:24][/size] ;( PLEASE HELP ME!I am new to Linux, and to this site. I noticed that someone asked in a forum how to install amsn, and there doesn't seem to be a respose there. I am getting a little frustrated with this, because I am an advanced Windows user, and this is so much different. I have Red Hat 8.0, and it seems like evrything is a pain to install. Can anyone give me some tips on installing programs, especially amsn![/b] Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted February 14, 2003 Is there a reason you want to use amsn? Can you use GAIM instead? I use the CVS (development) version of it myself, and you can either get it from gaim.sf.net or hit freshmeat.net for the source or RPMs to install it. GAIM will support MSN as well as AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, etc. Did you read my intro post here? http://www.linuxcompatible.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=302 It gives an intro to directory setups and what methods there are to installing applications.

ox1222 0 Posted December 27, 2003 I download the files (tlc8.4.5 & tk8.4.5) and unzipped them, but I still don't know how to install them in my Redhat 9 system. Can someone please give me a hand? Thanks. Share this post Link to post
Twey 0 Posted August 5, 2004 Do you have it as an RPM, or as source? If it's RPM, just double-click it. If it's in source, then: cd [tk/tcl directory]/unix ./configure make make install Share this post Link to post
iamroot 0 Posted August 5, 2004 Just go to the amsn homepage and get the RPM for RH 8. Then either doubleclick it or go the console and use cd / (directory amsn rpm is located in) then rpm -Uvh (amsn filename) to install. Share this post Link to post
