Hi there

I can confirm this bug, and I would propose to upgrade it from "low" -
because it really limits the usefulness of this package on a 64bit
system.

The problems seems to be pretty simple: the architecture independent
package amsn-data contains a number of libraries for tcl. These are x86
libraries, so they do not work on any other architecture. Recompiling
the program on amd64 fixes the problem for me (running an amd64 system).

I would think that moving the libraries (such as
/usr/share/amsn/utils/farsight/tcl_farsight.so) from amsn-data to amsn
should fix the issue for everybody. They may also get installed in the
wrong location (/usr/share should be architecture independent as far as
I understand), but that should not be a problem for most users (unless
it is the reason for the wrong packaging in the first place).

I am sure that amsn should generate an error message when trying to load
the wrong libraries, but I have no idea how to find it. Certainly the
man page is not very helpful.
