Comment:

hey, im trying to get a msn-type client on my redhat box, and i can get the program installed fine, but when i type in (example: ./amsn) it says: ./amsn : /usr/bin/wish/: bad interpreter: no such file or directory. the instructions also said to try wish amsn, but i get bash: wish: command not found. the instructions said that if those commands didnt work that i need to install tcl/tk. how do i go about doing this? thanks!

/usr/bin/wish is part of the tk package. You indicate you have Redhat 9, and so I assume you have the CDs. You'll want to mount the CD (mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom) and then go to the directory containing the packages (probably /mnt/cdrom/Redhat/RPMS) and find the tk package (ls tk*). Then, install this package by entering rpm -i tk.i386.rpm (the filename will be different, of course). There may be dependencies, and you'll have to rpm -i those packages first. I do not know which CD this package is on, so you may need to unmount the first CD (umount /dev/cdrom), and go to the 2nd CD, and so on. Good luck.
