Thank you for your bugreport.

There might be an unwanted version of "http.tcl" somewhere on your filesystem (in ~/plugins/ ?). Please find all files with the name "http.tcl" on your filesystem and send us the output of the command.

 pet@workmate:~$ sudo updatedb
 pet@workmate:~$ locate http.tcl

If there's a version of "http.tcl" in ~/plugins, please temporary move it somewhere else to see if that makes a difference. If it does, please try to figure out where the file comes from and let us know.

If we're not lucky, we need to find out which "PATH" amsn uses:

- edit the file "/usr/share/amsn/amsn" with your favorite editor. Since the file may only be modified by root, please edit it as the root user (i.e. "gksudo gedit /usr/share/amsn/amsn")
- find line 169, which begins with "lprepend auto_path [file join utils]"
- add these three lines underneath line 169:
   puts $auto_path
   puts $program_dir
   puts $HOME
- save the file
- execute amsn from the commandline again. Wonder what is says. In my case it says:

 pet@workmate:~$ amsn
 utils utils/linux /home/pet/.amsn/plugins /usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.5 /usr/lib /usr/local/lib/tcltk /usr/local/share/tcltk /usr/lib/tcltk /usr/share/tcltk /usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5 /usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5/ttk
 /usr/share/amsn
 /home/pet/.amsn
