Script for downloading/compiling aMSN from svn

[unimatrix]

@matthaeus123
Sorry about that, I changed the address. Check the main post again.

Don't try to update though. Delete the amsnsvninst folder, and 'checkout' it again.

(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

I am running 64-bit Ubuntu Hardy, and I had exactly the same problem as gabrieloceano, and quoted above is what showed up when I typed what kakaroto suggested

open amsn, press Ctrl-Shift-C, a window will appear, in it, type :
set ::auto_path
package require tls



For me, the reason was that I had downloaded the suggested 64bit TLS tarball and tried that method.  Then I removed the manually installed svn version of amsn, and ran the script from unimatrix.

Deleting the /home/my-username/.amsn/plugins/tls1.50 directory solved it.  Obviously the script and installed everything correctly, but my manual install of TLS1.50 was annoying things.

So, many thanks to both unimatrix for the script, and to kakaroto for the suggestion of deleting that directory.

amsn up and running again!

Ok, first thanks for it
However im trying to install amsn svn with the script, everything is going right till end... It shows this:

Doing DEB file backup.
cp: cant do `stat' on «/home/zerbero/.asu/amsn/distrib/DEB/*.deb»: File doesnt exist
Writing logfile...    <<<< ---- Where is this log?


When i try to run amsn:

zerbero@zerberuntu:~$ amsn
Error in startup script: couldn't read file "/usr/share/amsn/amsn": no such file or directory

Im running a Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 updated (all stuff) AMD 64.

Thanks. Hope u can help me.

Hi guys,

have just installed the SVN of aMSN using the script.

I now have the issue where when trying to start a voice conversation, aMSN comes up and says that Farsight2 has not been installed.

When i go to the audio/video setup wizard, the following is displayed:

couldn't load file "utils/farsight/tcl_farsight.so": utils/farsight/tcl_farsight.so: undefined symbol: fs_stream_set_remote_candidates

there were no errors when the script was run.

Any ideas on what can be done to rectify this?

cheers

Matt

As it says in my first post, Farsight2 currently doesn't work with the script.
This is because you are required to compile the git version. I didn't want to include this in the script because it might break things.
You can try it yourself though: http://www.amsn-project.net/wiki/Farsight
Compile it and then run the script again.

what's with the new file for intrepid?

[unimatrix]

Oh just some minor changes (repositories and stuff). I've decided to fork the script for every Ubuntu release. Otherwise it would get complicated for no good reason.

[matthaeus123]

Just to let you know. Ubuntu has added libnice and farsight2 to their repositories.
So you should probably add those dependencies to your script

[unimatrix]

I've found libnice in Jaunty's repository... but I don't see farsight2 anywhere.

[matthaeus123]

libgstfarsight0.10-0
libgstfarsight0.10-0-dev

[unimatrix]

The script already installs those. AFAIK we need farsight2-dev to become available.

[kakaroto]

farsight2's package is called libgstfarsight0.10...

[unimatrix]

Ah yes, you mean Jaunty's packages. Suppose I should make the script use those for Intrepid/Hardy ?

EDIT: I won't do that. I've just tested it and farsight doesn't work. Not to mention it made amsn horribly slow.
