Did you install it? mydsl-load dsl-dpkg.dsl If you need help with understanding how Debian packages work, go to Google and search for: linux man apt-get.

Alright, I got it unpacked and all, thanks very much for the help.But what I am trying to run, (OpenTTD), says, "openttd: error when loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

It looks like the stable version (0.5.3) of the deb package was built against libstdc++.so.5I guess trying to install the .so.6 could be complicated (appears in sarge), so you could use stable or compile it yourself (esp. if you really want the newest beta) |
