running amsn on redhat 9
 

ok ive got this far as having downloaded amsn from a website, having the msn folder extracted from the gz (it was v 81 or something i downloaded) and now i wanna open and run amsn (ive been told i can make some kinda shortcut from my desktop)

how do i go about getting the thing to run? please help me im a complete newbie.

To run amsn :

cd path/to/msn
wish amsn

If you wish to make a shortcut from your desktop it depends on what front-end you're using (GNOME, KDE, etc). However, you will be able to create an icon in most of them by right clicking and choosing "New Launcher" with wish path/to/msn/amsn as command.

i'm using kde... im slightly used to getting around it since i got given a copy of knoppix locd and used that for a bit but like i said im a real newbie.

ive used a terminal to get into the folder where i have amsn and tried using wish amsn but it dont like :( real confused. help!

keeps saying no file or directory.

if someone could give me a clue into what the executable files look like in linux i'd be much appreciated...like i said im a complete newbie.

untar it like now,enter the new directory msn by and now,run
