Apps :: getting AMSN to work.



I'm trying to get AMSN to work. This is my primary method of communication and without it I'll be lost.

I've loaded tcltk and amsn (uci files) from the MyDSL menu.  I get icons for them both.  When I click on AMSN, nothing happens.  Have I missed a step?
Why not just use gaim it supports most IM's and can check your mail?

maybe you've encountered the same problem i've had:
if you launched dsl with a language option at boot (lang='your_lang'),
amsn will search for a language file in /opt/amsn/lang and won't start.
If it is the case, you can fix the problem by creating an empty file (or you put a single line int it) lang'your_lang' (for me it was langfr) in /opt/amsn/lang.
Hope it helps...
I have a file named langen (which has a bunch of stuff in it) in my /opt/amsn/lang folder.  I believe this is what you are referring to.  

In regards to gaim, does it support msn clients?
yes that was the file i was talking about...have you tried to launch amsn from the command line, to have some hint about the problem?
gaim must work as an msn client, though i haven't tested it in dsl.
