Installing Amsn svn : A repository for Ubuntu users

[kakaroto]

Hi, welcome to the forums!
well, first, make sure you are installing the correct version.. and also that you have the latest SVN revision... if you compiled farsight2/gstreamer/etc.. yourself, make sure you installed it in /usr not /usr/local/ if the ./configure of amsn doesn't find farsight, then upload the config.log file somewhere, i'll have a look...

That is the point:

configure:7145: checking for FARSIGHT2
configure:7154: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "\
             farsight2-$GST_MAJORMINOR >= $FARSIGHT_REQUIRED"
Requested 'farsight2-0.10 >= 0.0.9' but version of Farsight2 is 0.0.2
configure:7158: $? = 1
configure:7175: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "\
             farsight2-$GST_MAJORMINOR >= $FARSIGHT_REQUIRED"
Requested 'farsight2-0.10 >= 0.0.9' but version of Farsight2 is 0.0.2
configure:7179: $? = 1
Requested 'farsight2-0.10 >= 0.0.9' but version of Farsight2 is 0.0.2
configure:7210: result: no

So it seems I have the correct package installed (and I have because I got the amsn repository) but for some reason in the packages configuration it is detected as 0.0.2!!!
How can I fix it?
Bye and thanks!

Update:

I found I had installed the 0.0.2 version in /usr/local. So I removed it, or better to be sure that I didn't have any strange library setup I installed farsight2 both in /usr and /usr/local. Now configure correctly report farsight2 (latest version 0.10) is installed. But I still can't have it working...
Any clue of what I can look for? I did also a strace, all the library seems to work corretly, the only "problem" I have is:

lstat64("/usr/lib/farsight2-0.0/pkgIndex.tcl", 0xbfc8792c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

but I don't think it is important. Shall I use version 0.9 instead?

Bye

P.S. When I check for Audio/Video preferences and it fails with farsight2 extension, Details button doesn't work

[Menion]

Update2:

Finally I got the point: I have to run amsn as root to have farsight2 working. This could explain all this problems users report sometimes about farsight2 not working even if ./configure detects it. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04
Bye

Hi, thanks for the PPA.

I had to do

Code:

sudo chmod +x /usr/share/amsn/plugins/music/infosongbird

because I was getting this error when enabling the music plugin:

Code:

Music: Error retreiving song : couldn't execute "/usr/share/amsn/plugins/music/infosongbird": permission denied

Hi, I tried the repo. Instalation went very well. But I launch amsn and try to login, but I get the famous "TLS not installed" prob.
I have tried placing the tls1.50 folder in ~/.amsn/plugins, in /usr/shared/amsn/, and no luck.

If I open amsn's log (ctrl + s) and I type "package require tls" I get:

"couldn't load file "home........../amsn/plugins/tls1.50/libtls-1.50.so": libssl.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."

I have installed libssl0.9.8 (the default in jaunty) and tls 1.5

I have tried placing the 0.9.7 so, but no luck.

What could I do?
Thanks

The error message means that libtls-1.50.so is linked against libssl.so.0.9.7, you'll need to recompile libtls in order to make it work...

[AL3X2]

I can't remove tcl-tls from my pc (-> I can't rebuild it from src) because when I do "sudo apt-get install amsn" it install automatically "tcl-tls".

Any other ideas :/ ?

Thanks!

You probably have an older (on hand) installation of tcl-tls.
The version in Jaunty is linked to libssl0.9.8

[AL3X2]

Ok. I did "sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8" and I keep getting the same error.
I'm on Jaunty, official repos. Searching for libssl in synaptic shows me version 0.9.8

What could be wrong?

[kjir]

I'd say stop reinstalling libssl and start reinstalling tcl-tls That's the package with problems, not libssl

hello,

did you try to remove the amsn folder in your home ( home/yourname/.amsn)

Be carefull, you will lose your preferences and your login identification (make a backup of it)
     
uninstall amsn

Code:

sudo apt-get autoremove amsn

with the autoremove it will uninstall tls
 and install it

Code:

sudo apt-get install amsn

[AL3X2]

Ok, I did both things.
I removed .amsn and tried installing without luck.
Then I removed amsn, amsn-data, tcl-tls.
Then I installed tcl-tls and then amsn. No luck. Still the same error... libssl0.9.7 not found... :S

The file "home........../amsn/plugins/tls1.50/libtls-1.50.so" has been reinstalled? Is it installed by Ubuntu??
