Unhappy amsn (on dapper): unknown color "Black"


I'm trying to run amsn (the one I just built from the CVS) on my dapper box.

But it can't run, actually. I get this message on the shell:

Code:
Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk applicationunknown color name "Black"
what's the problem?

Maybe bug in CVS. Try resyncing with CVS or download a stable version.

I tried with a working amsn I had before dist-upgrading built from the CVS (as of 2006 02 02) and it fails with the same message. That same version was the one I used with breezy.
