Automatic Script for Anti-Aliasing aMSN

[Vuen]

Works until;

It seems the script is having trouble downloading the source code through Subversion. Try the snapshot version of the script here:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...8&postcount=14

and perform all the steps in that post to clean it first. Hopefully that will fix it. I'm not at my computer now but I'll soon replace the original version of the script with this one.

my ubuntu is Dutch but it says this:

Reading state information... Klaar
E: Uw bronnenlijst (/etc/apt/sources.list) dient minstens 1 bron-URI te bevatten
ERROR: Could not install build dependencies.

It seems your sources.list is missing the source repositories; same problem as mrastas was having above. In a terminal window, type "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list", and uncomment all the lines that say deb-src in front of them. Then type "sudo apt-get update", then run the script.

Nice script! Works perfectly
You could make another one that use the SVN version of aMSN.

I'm more of a fan of stable releases, but if you want to use the latest source you can just check out trunk instead of the latest tag. Open up the fixamsn.txt script in any text editor, and change this:

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/amsn/tags/Release-0_96/amsn/ amsn || ! echo "ERROR: Could not download aMSN source code." || exit 1

to this:

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/amsn/trunk/amsn/ amsn || ! echo "ERROR: Could not download aMSN source code." || exit 1

Then run the script again.

Hmm, that's very strange. Can you pastebin the contents of your sources.list?

Does anyone have a clue? Btw, all src repos are uncommented.
Thanx.

Just changed the script to compile the svn insted of the 0.96 stable.

If you want to do this:

find the section:

  #amsn 0.96
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/amsn/tags/Release-0_96/amsn/ amsn || ! echo "ERROR: Could not download aMSN source code." || exit 1

and replace with:

 #amsn 0.97 SVN
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/amsn/trunk/amsn amsn || ! echo "ERROR: Could not download aMSN source code." || exit 1

Save and run

PS: I've mentioned this script on my blog : www.formatds.org

* Edit *
I only noticed now that you already said this :$

Thanks, this script actually worked. Amsn installed with no trouble for once. It looks pretty too .

This needs to be stickied, absolutely brilliant.

This is the first script/howto about amsn that worked flawlessly for my on x86_64
