Sorry for the wrong Attached to Project selection.
It should be community. Please move it as I can't find a way to edit it.

I have already selected community when registering this task.
Somehow pacman is shown when it is already submitted.

we don't have tk/tcl 8.6.x, but 8.5.6
try a simple rebuild

It's 8.5.6 it don't support. I have tried rebuilding it from source, but got the same error as shown in the picture.

Hi,

I haven't found solution for this issue, just a workaround. I have downgraded tc and tcl from 8.5.6 to 8.5.5 and it now works (as expected, I must say). Thus, I wonder what have changed in these packages... It seems clear that some new change is breaking amsn. Maybe the problem is upstream and must be notificed.

I hope we find a solution to this soon.
Regards.

aMSN 0.97.2 need a patch to work with tcl/tk 8.5.6

It looks like the new package is working now... I can open my amsn again after the last -Syu... But it doesn't connect.
Still "connecting"... forever..

we're using SVN Snapshot 2008-12-29 (0.97.2-3) because the 0.97.2 version doesn't work with tcl/tk 8.5.6
I will switch this package to the stable version when amsn will works with tcl/tk 8.5.6 again.
