Dell XPS M1210 & Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) – Installing aMSN 0.97 stable

If you installed the default Ubuntu package of aMSN through sudo apt-get install aMSN it probably didn’t let you actually run it after. If it treated you like it treated me, it’ll tell you to upgrade to the latest version. Here’s a quick little how-to on installing the latest version that I found on the Ubuntu Forums.

Here’s what you need:

TCL8.5: http://in.solit.us/archives/download/114664
TK8.5: http://chronos.solit.us/archives/download/113979
AMSN 0.97 stable: http://in.solit.us/archives/download/114530
TCLTLS1.50 http://in.solit.us/archives/download/115681

Install them using gdebi. You must install them in the order listed above and can uninstall TCL8.4 & TK8.4. Bonuses that PatrickofSpain include some extra skins, configuration tweaks and drag-and-drop into a conversation window for sending.
