That's very strange mate . Try changing first into the directory where the applications is and try running it from there:

cd /opt/amsn-0.94/
./amsn

don't run this as root either, and see if any errors are reported.

You need Perl-tk installed to run amsn. Do you have it installed? Is it in an abnormal directory? Did you add it to your $PATH? These are things that you shouldn't need to do manually. RH should take care of that for you when it installs the packages.
