Comment 17 for bug 314805

@amw3465

The easiest workaround is the one described in comment 2 or 3 (depending if it is Ubuntu 64bits or 32bits):

 - Launch a console
 - Type:
user@jaunty$ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
user@jaunty$ amsn

 - If it works, you can create a shell script in folder "/usr/local/bin":
user@jaunty$ sudo nano /usr/local/bin/amsn

 - Type
  #!/bin/sh
  LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so exec /usr/share/amsn/amsn

 - And set the executable bits
user@jaunty$ sudo chmod ugo+x /usr/local/bin/amsn

 - This script will be launched when you select "aMSN" in the menu
