And it bothered me recently. I don't know how to install amsn by rebuilding source files of amsn. I tried to rebuild before. My environment is Unbuntu alpha / Arm CPU. My steps are below: 1). download the amsn-xxx.tar.gz, tcl-xxx.targz, tk-xxx.tar.gz 2). unzip amsn-xxx.tar.gz 3). unzip tcl-xxx.tar.gz 4). unzip tk-xxx.tar.gz=20 5). cd tcl-xxx/unix/ 6). ./configure 7). make 8). make install 9). cd ../../tk-xxx/unix 10). ./configure --with-tcl=3D/path/to/tcl 11). make Then, I got error messages about missing some files. Would you please tell me how to rebuild the source files of amsn? Or how to solve this problem? It is going to dry me crazy!
