After fiddling around with the ./configure script for TSL before realizing it already adds "/include/openssl" and you just need "/user" I still cannot log in.  It just hangs on "Logging in..."

root@junkyard:~# tclsh
% exit
root@junkyard:~#  

From netstat:

tcp        0      1 192.168.15.2:35546      207.46.96.153:1863      SYN_SENT

Is this just me being unable to connect to the messenger server, or is something else configured wrong?

It seems like an error from either your connection or the Microsoft servers. I know for sure that they were having issues this morning, so just try again later. If it works, it was an error from the servers (very likely). If it still doesn't work, troubleshoot your connection.

I was figuring it to be MSN's server as well.  My torrent client works fine, XChat has no problems, my ftpd and httpd are working ok.  It has messenger.hotmail.com:1863 in the Advanced prefernces for the initial server to connect to.  

0.96 (11/02/2006) is the version I have.  It's been trying to log in since last night and has yet to succeed.   I've no idea what to try next.

[kakaroto]

try this :
in amsn, disconnected, press Ctrl-C from the main window, in the console that opens up, type :

Code:

 ::config::setKey start_ns_server [::config::getKey default_ns_server]

then try again to connect.

This program looks terrific, but does not work. It refuses to download TLS (whatever that is!) and I'm not sure wher or how to get it. I am using Ubuntu 7.04.

Glenn :

Code:

sudo apt-get install tcltls

Alright, so I'm having problems with tsl and now I pretty much have a headache =p
I go to configure tsl to compile it again and I get the ssl not found error, I try it with --with-ssl-dir=/usr/include/openssl and it tells me its not finding the right files. This is whats in the directory

Code:

aes.h       conf.h      ebcdic.h    lhash.h        pem.h        rsa.h        tls1.h
asn1.h      conf_api.h  ec.h        md2.h          pem2.h       safestack.h  tmdiff.h

I'm running slackware 11 and amsn .97

just my feedback as user of the svn version of amsn

with tcl/tk 8.5a4 no need to recompile tls: it works perfectly (amsn download tls and it works)
but you need to edit one file to get amsn working

with tcl/tk 8.5a6
need to recompile tls from source (amsn can download source for us in ~/amsn_received)
but amsn works directly

Code:

cd ~/amsn_received
tar xvzf tls1.5.0-src.tar.gz
./configure --with-ssl-dir=/usr/ ##for (k)ubuntu 7.04
make
sudo make install
ln -s /usr/local/lib/tls1.50 ~/.amsn/plugins/ ## I don't know if it's needed

So in (k)ubuntu the ssl directory is somewhere in /usr/ :lol:
I don't know how ./configure works, but maybe it search recursively in the folder (good to know I think)
I am now using kubuntu 7.04 and tcl/tk 8.5a6 and the latest svn

edit: delete [b][/b] between [code][/code]
edit2: make install with sudo of course  :wink:
edit3: openssl seems to be in /usr/include/openssl but you need to set --with-ssl-dir=/usr/
strange,isn't it?

[erancx]

hey guys,

I'm having the same problem, can't find tls.
I tried everything you said,
changed the name from 1.5 to 1.50, set the right dir in amsn
nothing really works.

I'm using redhat and amsn-0.97RC1-1.tcl84.x86.package.

thanks

Hi guys,

I am 100% new to Ubuntu and I can't get aMSN to work.

I've tried changing the line from 1.5 to 1.50 in the file pkgindex.tcl in the usr/lib/tls150 folder but the file is READ ONLY, and so I can't edit it. How do I change the permissions to allow me to edit it?

Cheers,
ADF

You should learn to use "sudo". It gives you the right to change anything, but should be used very carefully because if you change something you shouldn't you could cause trouble.
Open a terminal and go to that folder, then give the command

Code:

gksu gedit pkgindex.tcl

(It's "sudo" for non-graphical applications, and gksu for graphical ones. Or kdesu if you use kubuntu).
It might be possible to do it from nautilus (the file manager) too, if you right click and "open as administrator".

This is ubuntu stuff though, for any more questions I'd direct you to www.ubuntuforums.org

Ok, I have Linux mint and got aMSN from the software portal that's on the computer. I downloaded it and tried to log in, but it just said logging in and wouldnt change at all. I hadn't updated to the newer version because i dont know how to as the only way to install stuff, i think, is through the software portal on linux mint. I set the thing telling me to get the newer version to not remind me anymore and after I did that nothing came up when i opened aMSN, well, everything is there, just not the option to login or anything.

Edit: also the version of linux is Daryna Linux mint

@Toasters: you have to update. Then a new version of amsn may be available. If not, ask mint developers through a bug report, or on their forum, IRC channel...
