Open a terminal and type

amsn

see what it does. If it gives an error put it up here.
If theres no error and it just exits, try

wish amsn

instead.

wish comes with Tk so either it isn't really installed or you installed it to a non-default path or something like that. Did you specify a prefix at ./configure? If not it'll probably be in /usr/local which causes problems on some distros.

ehm. the bitrock installer versions of amsn (not the source or tgz versions) come (if i'm not mistaken) with a fully working setup of amsn (incl tcl/tk)

Well that is saying that Tk is not installed or if it is, not in a default path. Problem found, reinstall it to /usr.
