[SOLVED] tls error in aMSN

[acous]

I can not log in to amsn? Reinstalled vectorlinux standard and now amsn says I have to install tls, then it opens "TLS module installation wizard", but cant download it...how fix this?

What specific error messages are you getting? It would be helpful if you could post them. Thanks very much.

first a window "TLS Module Installation wizard" comes,

it says I have to install a module called TLS, then I can make a number of choices regarding system architechture, I choose Linux-x86 which is default.

then this error comes:

Error installing TLS module:: Couldn't get http://switch.dll.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/amsn/tls-1.5.0-linux-x86.tar.gz




tried to install this manually but no success,

The stuff you're trying to download from SourceForge is source code which would need to be compiled. Rather than mess with it, there's a prebuilt Slackware package of tcltls available from Alien's directory at slackware.com. Here's a quick link for convenience: http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/tcltls/pkg/11.0/tcltls-1.5.0-i486-1.tgz

Once you've downloaded the package, open a terminal and become root via the su command. (Make sure that amsn is not running.) Once you are root, type the following:

Code:

installpkg tcltls-1.5.0-i486-1.tgz
ldconfig

This assumes that you are in the same directory to which you downloaded the package.

Now try running amsn. You should be able to get in.

HTH,
