Fedora Core 2 tcl/tk problem

Today i installed fedora core 2. I tried to install amsn (alvaro's msn messenger). It requires tcl/tk. After using either rpm/tar file, it says it needs /usr/bin/wish.

at root prompt typing

#rpm -q tcl

shows that tcl is installed and what version. So i am sure it has something to do with environment variables. Issuing the "whereis tcl" command at the root prompt it shows the path. it shows two paths for the tcl program /usr/lib/tclxxx and /usr/share/tclxxx

can anyone tell me how to set environment variable permanently for tcl? so that amsn get installed and start working.

in your ".bashrc" file in your home directory, add:

Code:

---

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib:/usr/share

---

I did that and it is still saying
[root@localhost root]# rpm -ivh amsn-0.90-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/bin/wish is needed by amsn-0.90-1
[root@localhost root]#

What should i do now?

Hi there...

I managed to get it running, but I had to go throught the following manual work:

Just for your info I am running FC2 on a 586 system,

I downloaded and installed (rpm -i <filename>) the following RPMs from the Fedora web site (In this order):

tcl-8.4.5-7.i386.rpm
tcl-devel-8.4.5-7.i386.rpm
tcl-html-8.4.5-7.i386.rpm
tk-8.4.5-8.i386.rpm
tk-devel-8.4.5-8.i386.rpm
tclx-8.3.5-2.i386.rpm
tclx-devel-8.3.5-2.i386.rpm
tclx-doc-8.3.5-2.i386.rpm

After that I installed the following RPM downloaded directly from amsn's site:

amsn-0.90-1.i386.rpm

It installed perfectly and works just fine...

Hope this helps,

i took a different route. there is site for rpms by the name of dag.wieers, i installed his apt-get and source list. checked the exact file name that his apt sources have and did the apt-get. it installed tcl/tk first and then amsn.
