You guide doesn't also get the latest SVN it downloads the snapshot.
I personally find it much easier to get the proper SVN (easier to update etc).

Well, using snapshots you can not easily update it (you have to redownload the whole thing again, whats the point in that) but with SVN you can run `svn update`. And the SVN is more up-to-date where as the snapshot is only daily (I think?). |

Free Penguin apt-get install subversion You've got to install all the other things so I can't see how 1 extra prog can harm. |

freepenguin, its an nice guide, but i suggest one important thing. Why not use 'make deb' insead of make install? We are on debian/ubuntu system, and using deb files provides an advandage of course in removing and all. And since amsn has the make deb function ready, it's best to use it! It will just make a deb file instead of installing amsn, and then dpkg -i amsnXXX.deb and you are ready, and with apt support  |

So also make deb is good yes . Free Penguin |

the "make deb" is an alternative to "make install" and not to "make". When you "make deb" amsn is compiled as normal, but instead of the files copied to their locations after that, you make a deb package that you can install and uninstall easilly |

That guide is outdated... it uses treviño's repos: tcl/tk 8.5 alpha 6, completely outdated. Also it installs tile and tcllib, which arent't needed. If you want packages, use gus-arg's one (search theses forums) or I've also made packages http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=649364 |

the guide in the wiki for the SVN explains to you how to use both methods, the svn method or the amsn_dev.tar.gz method, so you can freely choose the one you like most. Yes, amsn_dev.tar.gz is updated daily, while the 'svn' one is the most recent changes included. Also, if you do 'svn update' it will download only a few KB instead of the 12MB archive.
And yes, 'make deb' is the exact same as 'make install', you have to do the usual ./configure and give it whatever options you want, and 'make deb' will recompile everything the way you configured it to and create a deb package for you.

Worse, of course... alpha 6 pre-release version (not even beta!) against the stable release.. There's not much more to explain. |
