Comment 19 for bug 577169

@Andreas, the best way is to build amsn with the new libs in a 9.10 machine and find if tk is really responsible for this.

Or maybe Andreas please download tcl/tk from source, just build them (not install) and run amsn source with ./configure --with-tcl=/home/yourname/Download/sources/tcl8.5/unix --with-tk=/home/yourname/Download/sources/tk8.5/unix or something like this

If you get an error when launching amsn (and launch it from bash) go to the amsn build directory and try wish ./amsn or wish8.5 ./amsn
after this you will build an amsn version with the latest tcl/tk with no ubuntu-specific patch (maybe a patch breaks the chars)
