WISH error?

Code:

bash-3.00$ ./amsn
./amsn: line 3: exec: wish: not found
bash-3.00$ PATH=$PATH:/opt/csw/bin/wish ./amsn
./amsn: line 3: exec: wish: not found
bash-3.00$ ./amsn --with-wish=/opt/csw/bin/wish
./amsn: line 3: exec: wish: not found
bash-3.00$ /opt/csw/bin/wish
%

Wish does work... what is wrong now?

I wonder, are there any advantages of AMSN instead of Gaim? Btw, Gaim has changed name to Pidgin. I just wonder, as Ive never heard of AMSN before...

Run:

Code:

head amsn
truss -f -t exec  ./amsn

and post the output.

here comes:

Code:

bash-3.00$ truss -f -t exec  ./amsn
5234:   execve("/usr/bin/bash", 0x08047264, 0x08047270)  argc = 2
./amsn: line 3: exec: wish: not found
bash-3.00$

amsn has more features, like extra plugins and skins

I can live with that. I use Pidgin (Gaim) mainly to chat and transfer files. If it looks flashy with skins doesnt matter to me.

You missed to post the "head amsn" command output.

LAN-Dominator.nl · 08-30-2007, 11:16 AM

what do you mean by that? head?

jlliagre · 08-30-2007, 11:24 AM

The opposite of tail

jlliagre · 08-30-2007, 11:25 AM

Code:

man head

for details ...

lolz i edited the ./amsn

#!/bin/bash
# \
exec wish $0

is now

#!/bin/bash
# \
exec /opt/csw/bin/wish $0

kebabbert · 08-30-2007, 11:42 AM

Execute this command and post the output:

$ head amsn

LAN-Dominator.nl · 08-30-2007, 11:57 AM

here's the headed:

Code:

bash-3.00$ head ./amsn
#!/bin/bash
# \
exec /opt/csw/bin/wish $0

Solaris can not find a C compiler.

There is at least one C compiler included. You must include it in the path. It is located somewhere in /opt/CSW... or something.
