Then i tryed to install screen-4.0.2 and then i got the following error

So i went looking for tgetent for DSL, didn't found the extention :'(
So, does anyone know why i cant "mydsl-load gcc1.dsl" and where i can find a tgetent extention?

I'm not 100% about this, but it looks like your loading the gcc1.dsl as root. Is this correct? Try loading it as user dsl, then you won't get the error. It looks like the files loaded, though, even with the error.Your "no tgetent" error appears to be comming from a missing library. Seeing these lines

makes me think that it looked for tgetent, then tried different curses, and then failed. Try loading the dsl-dpkg.dsl, changing your /etc/apt/sources.list file from stable to unstable, and then running:
apt-get update
apt-get install libncurses5-dev
and try again. You might need other libraries as well. I might get libreadline4-dev as well just to be safe.

I'm using dsl-1.1-syslinux HD-installed :s
maybe i need an other extention for apt-get?
Help :s

Yes, like I said before, you need the dsl-dpkg.dsl package from the repository < here >

| root@0[screen-4.0.2]# apt-get install libncurses5-dev Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libncurses5-dev: Depends: libncurses5 (= 5.2.20020112a-7) but 5.3.20030719-1 is to be installed Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages |
Owk got the dsl-dpkg.dsl and the gcc1.dsl loaded

Whachucallme, you need to:Install the gcc1.dsl, dsl-dpkg.dsl, and probably the gnu-utils.dsl as well (it helps loading and building some things):
mydsl-load dsl-dpkg.dsl
mydsl-load gcc1.dsl
mydsl-load gnu-utils.dsl
now you need change the /etc/apt/sources.list file from stable to unstable:
# as root
beaver /etc/apt/sources.list
# change the word "stable" in the second line to the word "unstable"
# save and close beaver
apt-get update
apt-get install libncurses5-dev libreadline4-dev
try compiling again.
./configure
make
make install
