What steps did you take in installing the program?

where are you running:

Code:

---

./amsn

---

from? If it in a virtual terminal (ctrl + alt + F1-F6) or is it in a terminal within your window manager.

If it's the latter, is it a root terminal and you're logged in as the user? If so, try running it as the user not root.
