when starting aMSN I get this error:
Code:
gentoobox vince # amsn
Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk applicationunknown color name "Black"
Error in startup script: this isn't a Tk applicationunknown color name "Black"
    (default value for "-highlightcolor" in widget ".")
    invoked from within
"load /usr/lib64/tk8.4/../libtk8.4.so Tk"
    ("package ifneeded" script)
    invoked from within
"package require Tk"
    (file "/usr/bin/amsn" line 46)

I have the latest TCL, TK and TCLTS installed, and I can't think of anything else that aMSN might require. any help would be appreciated :wink:

I had this problem a while back when I upgraded to Xorg 7.
I recall the file

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb

being misplaced.

What you need to do is go into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and find the line:

Code:

RgbPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" 


It may be a little different than that. Then find your rgb file with slocate

Code:

slocate -u
slocate rgb


and place it in the spot where xorg.conf is looking for it.

Change:

Code:
RgbPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"


to:

Code:
RgbPath    "/usr/X11R6/share/X11/rgb"


This worked for me... 8)
