[oxtail75]

hello i have a problem sins ubuntu has updated it to 0.97 it will not work it keeps asking me to download TLS so i check urs/lib and it was installed already but this keeps asking the same thing so i uninstaller amsn and reinstalled 0.96 witch works fine for a bit the core dumps any clue how i can fix this

[aliov]

I had the same problem with my slackware ! to fix it

be sure that you have the tls version 1.5
check the /home/(your home directory)/.amsn/tlsconfig.tcl and in wish directory it's pointing. usually should be /usr/lib/tls1.50

in my case the problem was only with the name it was 1.5 instead of 1.50


Hope this help
Regards

were is the wish directory i can not find it

[aliov]

the directory is not found at all ?

run this

 find /usr -name "tls*"

to find where is it.

[oxtail75]

still could not find it my output is

magpie@Kite:~$ find /usr -name "tls*"
/usr/lib/tls1.50

in your home directory , all the configuration files are stored in .something
so for amsn it's .amsn then open a terminal and cd .amsn and you'll find a file there called tlsconfig.tcl have a look to it and make sure that it's set the correct directory .

also make sure that the /usr/lib/tls1.50/pkgIndex.tcl if you have a line like
package ifneeded tls 1.5 "[list load [file join $dir libtls-1.50.so] ] ; [list source [file join $dir tls.tcl] ]"

replace it with.

package ifneeded tls 1.50 "[list load [file join $dir libtls-1.50.so] ] ; [list source [file join $dir tls.tcl] ]"

Regards.

thats all fine and i trys o run amsn and got this feedback

% magpie@Kite:~$ amsn
Application initialization failed: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
/usr/lib/tcl8.5 /usr/lib/tcl8.5 /lib/tcl8.5 /usr/library /library /tcl8.5a5/library /tcl8.5a5/library



This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

Error in startup script: can't find package Tk

it seems yes, the tcl/tk scripting languages used by asmn aren't installed properly or there is a missing symlink somewhere !

[oxtail75]

i have reinstall amsn and done everthing u said but still no look its asking to download it still

[aliov]

check in amsn preferences and you to the advanced bar and make sure about TLS configuration, other than this you shouldn't have problem !
