I'm fairly new to linux myself, but I think I can help you out. After the initial command (tar xzvf filename.tar.gz) a folder by the name of msn or amsn is created. You can go into that directory and type in ./amsn or you can go to run and type in amsn.
When I downloaded it it came has a rpm file.Double click the icon for the download to do the install.Now during the install it might tell you the signature is wrong but tell it yes to install anyway.Once its installed it will make a file called msn basically in the folder your download icon is in. Then click the big K for the k menu assuming your using KDE and click the run command and type /home/lynn/Download/msn/amsn. But in your case put in your name and the path to the amsn inside the msn folder.Hope that helps I'm a newbie so Good Luck
noorania i downloaded the same file you did, and unpacked onto my desktop, so now i got a file called MSN on my desktop with all the files, when i goto run and type amsn, it does nothing....what should i do?
In that folder there will be a file called amsn. If you double click that it will start the program. As you can probably tell I'm used to using M$ Windows hence the approach.
