HOWTO: run amsn, without crashing!!

[Gandalf]

Hello,
sorry if this solution has been already proposed i searched the forum didn't find any solutions in the topic i saw

to run amsn without crashing and with sound do the following:

sudo apt-get install amsn esound-clients
gedit ~/amsn&

paste inside it

#!/bin/bash
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 && amsn

then chmod +x ~/amsn

then edit the amsn link,

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/amsn.desktop

replace

Exec=amsn

with

Exec=/home/whatever_is_your_username/amsn

open amsn, go to tools -> preferences -> others and replace play $sound with esdplay $sound, set the file manager to nautilus $location

it's not for some reason, the reason is known, uncompatibility of amsn with the latest kernel version
if you run ~/amsn what happens? (in terminal)
