well, it says your gcc compiler isn't installed.

you should read the readme and/or install files when you unpack software BEFORE you try to install. or at least go to their website and read their install instructions (which are on the first page in the case of AMSN).

if you had read the instructions then you would know that AMSN is NOT an app that needs to be compiled. it is a tcl/tk script.

to run it, go into the msn folder and then enter:

./amsn

Unless I am missing something, this error was for trying to install the alsa player, not aMSN. are you having a problem with that?
if so, try it again, but logged in as root. or you can use the superuser command of su - ( thats SU with a minus sign) then try again.

Hope this helps.
