last tcl/tk upgrade broke amsn

revo · 2008-01-27 19:50:04

Hi,

today I upgraded tcl and tk:
upgraded tcl (8.4.16-2 -> 8.5.0-1)
upgraded tk (8.4.16-2 -> 8.5.0-1)

after that amsn doesn't start anymore. It dies with graphical error message: "Loading TkCximage failed. This module is needed to run aMSN. Please compile aMSN first, instructions on how to compile are located in the file INSTALL."

Any suggestions?

Yep, same problem here. Hopefully it will be fixed soon :S

A link to the bug report could be useful.

Rolling back to previous package version solve the problem. There aren't that many programs as far as I see that use these packages anyway so it will probably not affect anything else.

ssl6 · 2008-01-28 00:57:29

i just found im having the same problem too. i dont have the old package cached to downgrade. at least amsn is the only thing i have using tk

4 hours before this thread was opened I opened this one.
Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who is having trouble with the new tcl/tk version. The question from my thread remains: is it really the fault of the tcl/tk packages or of amsn (in your case) or nxtvepg (in my case). Did you try to build amsn yourself?

patroclo7 · 2008-01-28 09:26:42

Simply amsn should be recompiled against the new libraries... And you will get a GREATLY improved graphics and antialiased fonts

KimTjik · 2008-01-28 10:08:36

What procedure do you have in mind by writing "simply" patroclo7? It's no big deal for me, but I'm still curious. Removing everything and starting from scratch doesn't change the outcome in any sense. So do you mean we got to make a custom package?

he means that you should just rebuild AMSN using ABS.

... and it is simple because you do not need to change any single line in the PKGBUILD. As it is in community CVS, it builds amsn against the tcl/tk libraries currently installed in your system.

Sorry for the above brevity.

KimTjik · 2008-01-28 12:16:03

No need to be sorry. I was just a bit too slow to get it. Yes aMSN works perfectly well this way through abs.

An additional package from community, tls, is now needed. The automatic download and install by aMSN won't work.

Thanks for your patience!

saltcube · 2008-01-28 13:38:53

well .. now ive got the problem that i cant find amsn in my abs tree .. and my abs tree is up to date

you need to enable the community repo in abs.conf

EDIT: searching for amsn with the package search function on the webpage returns no result ... mysterious

it should be under /var/abs/community/x11/amsn

if it is not there, post your abs.conf and community.supfile here.

find /var/abs | grep amsn

saltcube · 2008-01-28 13:53:19

hmmm .. well i think the fonts look a bit too soft now compared to other programs .. any idea where i could change that? tried changing the amsn default font allready, didnt help

here a comparison between the amsn settings window and mousepad

I recompiled amsn against new packages. Now I get following error on startup:

Something wrong with source?

Rebuilt against the new tcl/tk

revo · 2008-01-28 18:43:54

Thats what I did. Before I got error described in first post.

ssl6 · 2008-01-28 19:01:42

theres an updated package in the repo that i just updated and got mine fixed. just an fyi

revo · 2008-01-28 19:16:50

Ok, finally I got it working too. First I installed tcllib package and then the new version of amsn package.

schivmeister · 2008-01-28 21:15:15

you guys have actually been using the ugly amsn?!

i couldn't stand the fonts since day 1..have always been compiling.

so wow..this must mean there's no need to compile any longer.
