AMSN on FreeBSD 0.96_1

[Reality]

I'm trying to install AMSN on a FreeBSD machine via port but it keeps giving me this error:

===>  Building for amsn-0.96_1
  CXX     utils/TkCximage/src/TkCximage.cpp.o

Stop in /usr/ports/net-im/amsn.

you need tk-dev and tcl-dev packages.

I did cvsup last night, been searching for the tcl-dev and tk-dev packages and didn't find any, only variants of tcl and tk names.

In /usr/local/lib I got:

rwxr-xr-x   5 root  wheel       512 Oct  2 07:24 tcl8
drwxr-xr-x   8 root  wheel       512 Oct  1 08:42 tcl8.4
drwxr-xr-x   6 root  wheel       512 Oct  2 07:24 tcl8.5
drwxr-xr-x  82 root  wheel      1536 Oct  2 07:30 tcllib
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel       512 Oct  2 11:53 tclx8.4
drwxr-xr-x   5 root  wheel      1024 Oct  1 08:42 tk8.4
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel       512 Oct  1 08:43 tls


Doesn't this mean I got tcl and tk installed?

Sorry for this, I'm kinda new in FreeBSD world

Never mind I think I found it.

For those that had the same problem and didn't find out:

Go to http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/downloadnow85.html download their packages then after extracting the contents of each (both tcl and tk) do:

cd unix
./configure
make install clean

for each one of those then try and install amsn and it will work.

Thank you for your help.

I'm trying now to run aMSN but when I do it says "You can't load TkCximage..." I've already recompiled aMSN, tcl and tk and still doesn't work

The page you link to is to download tcl/tk8.5 (which is still in beta by the way).
I'm on a linux system, but I got that same message you mention once, and I found out it was because I had compiles amsn with 8.5 (like you did) but the "default" (so to speak) version instaleld was still 8.4, and that's what caused the problem.
Try running amsn with wish8.5, if freebsd works similar to what I'm used to this command will be it:

Code:

wish8.5 ./amsn

[Reality]

Thank you for the reply, I've installed the 8.5 version cause it was the one saying dev but I'll try with 8.4 and then with wish and post here if it works.

[Reality]

I did have the tcl8.4 installed, removed all tcl* and tk* and installed the 8.5 version however when compiling aMSN it still fetches and installs tk.

Though, using:

#wish8.5 /usr/local/bin/amsn

Works well, created a launcher with this command so I don't have to type it all the time even.

Thank you Zalbor for your help.
