hey folks, just installed fedora 2.0, i ve gone through most posts and tutorials on linux and am kinda stuck if not frustrated...becuase most of the posts assume all goes well which doesnt happen all teh time.all im trying to do is install amsn. and this how am doing it:
downloaded amsn /amsn/amsn-0_93.tar.gz from http://amsn.sourceforge.net/ and saved in /home/shikabwe/src
su
[root@shikabwe]#ls
amsn-0_93.tar.gz
[root@shikabwe]# gzip -d amsn-0_93.tar.gz
[root@shikabwe]#tar xvf amsn-0_93.tar

everything went well here and and could see files extracted etc...
then
[root@shikabwe]#pwd
/home/shikabwe/src
[root@shikabwe]#ls
amsn-0_93 amsn-0_93.tar
[root@shikabwe]#cd amsn-0_93
[root@shikabwe]#./amsn
/usr/bin/env: wish: Permission denied

tried to run;
[root@shikabwe]# wish amsn
bash: wish: command not found
it seems like I dont have the correct tcl/tk according to the tutorials i ve read. what exactly is this? and how do i install it???
can someone tell me where am going wrong????
cant help but feel like going back to spyware/adware infested xp...last resort;-)

It looks as if you installed amsn in /home/.......

Install it as root in /usr/.....
