I’ve followed all of the instructions and executed the perl smack.pl
and received this message….

AMS hardware present and initialized

according to the instructions it should now work but it doesn’t, can anyone shed some light as to why smackbook is not working? Does it matter that I’m running Snow Leopard? Do I have to have spaces setup? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, so the downloads were fine.
But when i downloaded smackbook it didn’t show on my desktop so i just copied it from my dwnloads to the desktop and it worked. then i put AMSTRACKER in, all good so far.
But then when i typed in the terminal this is what i got:

Last login: Sun Aug 30 16:31:13 on ttys000
c211-30-146-130:~ JR$ cd/Users/JR/Desktop/smackbook
-bash: cd/Users/JR/Desktop/smackbook: No such file or directory
c211-30-146-130:~ JR$ perl smack.pl
Can’t open perl script “smack.pl”: No such file or directory
c211-30-146-130:~ JR$

Hey,
I downloaded everything like you said, but i can’t seem to find the Terminal Application in my Utilities folder.I have downloaded Smackbook before, and it worked, but now, after deleting everything and downloading everything again, i can’t find Terminal. Please Help!

Hey,
I have it all working, but I was wondering if it was possible to have this smackbook setting run without having to open terminal and encoding everything all over again ?

when i type in “cd ~/Users/(my username)/Desktop/smackbook” it says “no such file or directory. but when i type in the file location (Users/(my username)/Desktop/smackbook), without the change directory command, it just says
“Users/(my username)/Desktop/smackbook is a directory”

any help?

SOLUTION:

If it says there is no such directory, Put a space after cd, then drag the smackbook folder into the terminal window

if nothing happens after perl smack.pl make sure you copied the file ams tracker, not the folder(open the folder ams tracker.34 and drag the file amstracker into smackbook)

then it should all work

is there anyway to load “Desktop manager” and the smack.pl script automatically on startup?
