Script for downloading/compiling aMSN from svn

[unimatrix]

Hello gabrieloceano. Thank you for the feedback.
No it's not supposed to happen, but sometimes it does apparently (you can search the forum, it's full of this error).
Anyway this has happened to me in one of the earlier versions of the script.
Are you sure you are using the newest one?
To update it run this when you open the terminal:

Code:

cd amsnsvninst
svn up

Is your distribution Ubuntu 8.04?  (sorry there was a typo here.. 8.10 isn't out yet )
Check using:

Code:

cat /etc/issue

Have you previously installed amsn from ubuntu's repository?
What is the content of your /usr/bin/amsn file?
To see that:

Code:

cat /usr/bin/amsn

[gabrieloceano]

Thanks for the answer man!

My ubuntu is ''Ubuntu 8.04 \n \l" (there is some way to update it without reinstalling?)

My snv is 41. (is this one the right one?)

and my /usr/bin/amsn file "/usr/bin/wish8.5 /usr/share/amsn/amsn"

sry for my noob questions, but im REALLY lost here O.o



thanks a lot!!!!

[unimatrix]

Ok that looks fine. Can you just check one more thing for me?
Tell me what you see when you execute these two commands:

Code:

cat /usr/lib/tkConfig.sh | grep TK_VERSION
cat /usr/lib/tclConfig.sh | grep TCL_VERSION

Anyway, I think I know what the problem was. Should be fixed now.
Please update the script again (should be revision 42 now)

Code:

cd amsnsvninst
svn up

And run it again

Code:

./amsnsvninst

[gabrieloceano]

Both versions are 8.5

I updated the snv, and its now 42 (yeahhhhhhhh!!!!)

But when i run amsn, its keeps downloading the TLS files in loop.

Should I try to reinstal it or there is something else I can try??/


Thanks a lot for your help!!!!!!

[unimatrix]

So you have ran my script again? If you have, it already reinstalled amsn.
And I'm guessing the TLS problem hasn't been there before?
Anyway you can try going to aMsn --> Account --> Preferences --> Advanced and find (under Others) a textbox where it says TLS:
Try setting it to /usr/lib/tls1.50

[kakaroto]

search the forum about the tls problem.

[gabrieloceano]

I did it but still no good...
It's still trying to donwload the TSL...

Man, it is complicated O.o



kakaroto, I tried the solutions I found on the forum and get nothing from then =(

Thats how I found Unimatrix script =)



Thanks for the help =D

[kakaroto]

ok, open amsn, so here's the universal solution :
press Ctrl-Shift-C, a window will appear, in it, type :

Code:

set ::auto_path
package require tls

paste here the output.

[gabrieloceano]

(amsn) 1 % set ::auto_path
/usr/lib/tls1.50 utils utils/linux /home/gabriel/.amsn/plugins /usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.5 /usr/lib /usr/local/lib/tcltk /usr/local/share/tcltk /usr/lib/tcltk /usr/share/tcltk /usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5 /usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5/ttk
(amsn) 2 % package require tls
couldn't load file "/home/gabriel/.amsn/plugins/tls1.50/libtls-1.50.so": libssl.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory



O.o

[kakaroto]

there you go.. the extension is linked with libssl.so.0.9.7 and you seem to be having the libssl.so.0.9.8 installed on your system.. that's a problem some people had, but we fixed that by statically linking libssl into libtls.. so it shouldn't be causing this problem.. maybe delete that directory and try again, it might redownload a newer version which would be the one statically linked...
Note that the libtls that I know is statically linked is the x86 version, I do not know about the x86_64 version.... maybe that's the problem...

[gabrieloceano]

its keep redownloading and dont find that directory anymore

(amsn) 1 % set ::auto_path
/usr/lib/tls1.50 utils utils/linux /home/gabriel/.amsn/plugins /usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.5 /usr/lib /usr/local/lib/tcltk /usr/local/share/tcltk /usr/lib/tcltk /usr/share/tcltk /usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5 /usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5/ttk
(amsn) 2 % package require tls
couldn't load file "/usr/lib/tls1.50/libtls1.50.so": /usr/lib/tls1.50/libtls1.50.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


yeah, my system is a 64 bit... =(


lol, man, thx for the patience =)

[kakaroto]

so, two choices :
1 - try the x86 version, maybe it will work
2 - install libopenssl 0.9.7
3 - you seem to have added /usr/lib/tls1.50 to your 'tls path', and it looks like you do have a tls installed on your system but it seems wrong... it tries to load a /usr/lib/tls1.50/libtls1.50.so but the file doesn't exist.. I know there are some distributions with a badly packaged tls where the file is in the wrong directory. If you find a /usr/lib/libtls1.50.so then just copy that file to /usr/lib/tls1.50/ and it should find it.
4 - compile tls yourself...

Hi,

I don't know if its a fault with this or not, but after installing aMsn, using your svn, which ran perfectly btw.

Amsn crashes when I click on the 'log in' button, it goes to the logging in screen, with the blue loading bar and immediately crashes.

I'm posting it here, because its happened after using your svn installer. However it could be a problem with the svn version of aMsn, so sorry if i've posted in the wrong place.

Thanks, Matt.

Btw, i used this because i couldn't get farsight to be recognised by the compiler, but your script worked perfectly and it recongised it. So thank you very much.

[kakaroto]

@mattmil30 : read the FAQ for how to submit an error report about a segmentation fault using gdb.
Without that, we can't help, we can't say where the error comes from and we can't fix it...
thanks

I can't download the script from the svn server anymore

I get this message

Code:
