"The plugin should appear in the plugins selector dialog. You don't need to restart aMSN. "

You won't because you're not on windows

See the Linux section beneath windows ;)
You can put them (as full directories) in the following

~/.amsn/plugins

you are in the wrong directory .. amsn is in your home folder as a hidden directory....
goto >places>home>view (at top of window)>and tick show hidden files. now look for .amsn (dot amsn)

Open a terminal (System -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type


mkdir -v ~/.amsn/plugins - to create a directory called plugins.

You can then copy and paste your plugin into this folder either using cp via terminal or ctrl+c, ctrl_v
