aMSN Installation Problem

[Ja]

I'd installed aMSN and followed the steps to install it but then it started the final installation and it said.

Checking for TCL Scripting Language ... failed

Error: Could not find 'TCL Scripting Language'. Try using the native package manager for Ubuntu 7.10 (apt-get) to install a package with similar name to 'tcl'.

Error: Unable to prepare package AMSN MSN client.


Can someone help me fix this, please?

Thanks

It seems that you have to install TCL
Open synaptic and search for tcl
(mark something and press t to find tcl faster - you get about 250 alternatives )
In this case you might need build essentials

It came up with a bunch of stuff when I searched TCL.. I'll mess around with it and see what happens.

Another problem now, when I type:

apt install build-essential

and I type in my password it says:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?


How or where do I see if it is running it?

Check again - you might have done it while mintUpdate was working
