It didn't work!!!
Hi, I tried to install AMSN on my Red Hat 6.2 where I rencetly also installed tcl 8.4.6, but AMSN was impossible to install. I did as it was instructed (./amsn) and then a line in shell said that there was an error in the file 'amsn' and that the problem was in the file, on the line 202 "reload_files". I even tried with amsn8.3 and the same problem accur, but on the line 127.
How do I fix the problem?
