[howto] initate file transfer by dragging file on to window

[gianpa]

I can't compile this thing... Chances to have this thing already compiled from one of you guys?  :oops:

(I use ubuntu feisty with tcl/tk 8.5a6)

[kakaroto]

if you use tcl/tk 8.5, it means you compiled it, means you know how to compile, and you probably need to recompile it for tcl/tk 8.5.. I don't know what are your errors, but it might be safer for you to use tcl/tk 8.4

With amsn 0.96 and 0.97RC1 both on Fedora Core 6 and Fedora 7 whenever I try to send a file by dragging and dropping it to the chat window amsn dies as soon as I drop the file. It doesn't just close the window, the amsn process dies. Is this a known issue? Can I do something else to help debug it?
