Hello,
This howto will guide you through installation of the latest amsn..
so first we need tcl/tk/imlib libraries
then you need to have CVS downloader soCode:sudo apt-get install build-essential tcl8.4-dev tk8.4-dev imlib11-dev esound-clients
paste in the fileCode:gedit ~/amsn-installer
run the file..Code:#!/bin/sh ########################################### # Install aMSN CVS version & themes # # # # Require : tar, wget, unzip # # # # Description : Easy install aMSN CVS & # # new themes # # # # Infos : routes-linux.scooba.org # # Author : mazzaru[AT]wanadoo[dot]fr # ########################################### VERSION="1.3" #--------COLOR------------------- COLOROFF="\033[1;0m" GREENCOLOR="\033[1;32m" REDCOLOR="\033[1;31m" LILACCOLOR="\033[1;35m" #--------PATH-------------------- WGET=`which wget` UNZIP=`which unzip` SKINS_PATH=~/.amsn/skins/ BIN_PATH=~/msn/amsn QUIT_MESS=`echo "" echo -e "Binary amsn locate at : ${GREENCOLOR}${BIN_PATH}${COLOROFF}"` #-------Themes url--------------- URL_TUX=http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/amsn/Tux.zip URL_MSN=http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/amsn/MSN.zip URL_FLUOX=http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/amsn/Fluox.zip URL_AMAC=http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/amsn/aMac.zip URL_CRYSTOLA=http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/amsn/crystola.zip #--------------------------- URL_PING=google.com URL_AMSN_CVS=http://amsn.sourceforge.net/amsn_cvs.tar.gz HEADER=`clear echo -e "\t ${LILACCOLOR}+------------------------------+" echo -e "\t | ${GREENCOLOR}aMSN Install script ${VERSION} ${LILACCOLOR} |" echo -e "\t ${LILACCOLOR}+------------------------------+" echo -e "${COLOROFF}"` #--------END---------------- #Display a warning message for newbies, usually login always as root. if [ $UID -eq 0 ] then echo"" echo -e "${REDCOLOR}Don't run this script as root !! ;)${COLOROFF}" echo -e "\a" exit 1 fi ping -c 2 ${URL_PING} > /dev/null if [ "$?" -ne "0" ] then ALERT=`echo -e "${REDCOLOR}Bad Internet Connection${COLOROFF}"` fi FUNC_INSTALL_THEMES(){ while [ ! -z $1 ] do ARCHIVE=`echo $1 | awk -F/ '{print $6}'` DIR=`echo $ARCHIVE | awk -F.

press 2 to install (you can choose to install Themes or not)Code:chmod +x ~/amsn-installer ~/amsn-installer
anyway now go to ~/msn to compile it
Code:cd ~/msn ./configure && make
now to avoid amsn hanging on logging in..
paste into the fileCode:gedit ~/amsn
and then chmod itCode:#!/bin/bash export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 /home/USER_NAME/msn/amsn&
now all you have left to do is to create a launcher in gnome panel but remember to use /home/USER_NAME/amsn as a launcher and not/home/USER_NAME/msn/amsn and to use esdplay $sound in amsn configuration to have soundsCode:chmod +x ~/amsn
Hope that helps
