Error in startup script: can't find package des

[joegiampaoli]

Hello, just compiled aMSN 0.98.4 without problems, but when trying to launch i get this from shell:

Code:

joe@ghubuntu:~/Desktop/amsn-0.98.4$ wish amsn
Error in startup script: can't find package des
    while executing
"package require des"
    (file "config.tcl" line 4)
    invoked from within
"source config.tcl"
    invoked from within
"if {$::tcl_version < 8.5} {
wm state . withdrawn

# Dummy functions required by sourcing sxml/lang/config.tcl
set initialize_amsn 1
proc status_lo..."
    (file "amsn" line 155)

Tried to look for package in repos named des but can't seem to find it, any suggestions? Thank you

PS: Ubuntu Karmic Koala

Ok installed tcllib from repos which contains a whole bunch of tcl libraries includng des, now when I run aMSN I get this error:

Code:

joe@ghubuntu:~/Desktop/amsn-0.98.4$ ./amsn
Error in startup script: invalid command name "::amsn::errorMsg"
    while executing

Which steps did you follow to compile aMSN?

[joegiampaoli]

./configure
make
checkinstall -D (to build .deb)

when built .deb I got error, so I recompiled without installing via checkinstall or make install and ran it directly from source folder and got same error.

I ran it from src folder with either:
./amsn
or
wish amsn

I always do ldconfig before compiling anything.

Thanks.

[joegiampaoli]

I just pulled latest from SVN to test and get pretty much same error.

Posting the output from configure step in case needed. I am not interested in the farsight stuff or voice clips, just regular amsn:

Try

Code:

ls -al

in the amsn directory, where you compiled it. It's weird, it should find all files by itself.

[joegiampaoli]

This is the output I get from ls -al

No ideas anyone?

[Stemp]

What version did you use previously ? 0.9.3 ? by compiling ?

Anyway maybe it's a personnal configuration file problem. So you might try to delete your ~/.amsn dir

[joegiampaoli]

My previous (current) version is 0.98.3 self compiled also. Hmmmm I really doubt that removing my home amsn folder will fix this but what the hell, I'll give a shot and see what happens.

[joegiampaoli]

Ok I completely removed TCL/TK 8.4 from my system and recompiled aMSN, thought I was going to have a dependency hell time when removing it but it only removed Xchat-Gnome with them, so what the heck, Ill probably download it and compile it myself against 8.5. Still I dont understand since the configure output for aMSN was pointing to 8.5.

Well, anyway all working fine now.

Thx.
