State-Changed-Why:
    There are two different problems that I can think of. You're bug report is a little vague, so I'm going to have to guess at the real failure.
    
    First guess is that aMSN (sorry, don't know what that is) is using Tcl, Tk, or Itcl, and uses a different version that the one we ship with. So you're getting library conflicts. The easiest way to resolve this is to simply install insight in its own directory instead of a system directory. This is easily accomplished by using the "--prefix" option to configure.
    
    The other problem could be that aMSN is attempting to dynamically load a package. For arcane reasons, shared builds are disabled by default. In this case, simply pass the configure option "--enable-shared" and rebuild/install.
    
    If it is neither of these, I'm going to have have more information. How insight was configured, the exact error message reported when aMSN runs, and the like.

>Description:
After installing insight 6.5, aMSN (version 0.95 and above) cannot work. The error seems to be that some linked library functions in TkCximage.so are broken by the installation of insight 6.5.

I've seen this problem in my two linux machines with the version listed in the Envrionment field.
