root@box:/cdrom# vi syslinux.cfg
vi: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Looks like a libraries problem after loading MyDSL addons,
currently loaded are:
gtk2
gaim-1.0.0
mplayer,
samba
Alsa
xmms,
gnu-utils

I'm not sure how to unload the modules, other than a reboot and I can't do that right now. but if I were a betting man i'd say it has something to do with gnu-utils.

Anyone have any idea about this error with libs? vi is very important =)

Upon further inspection...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Nov 15 01:11 libtermcap.so.2 -> /lib/libncurses.so.5.3

# ls -al libncurses*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Dec 19 14:15 libncurses.so.5 -> libncurses.so.5.4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 252592 Oct 19 13:37 libncurses.so.5.4

root@box:/lib# ln -s libncurses.so.5.4 libncurses.so.5.3

vi
vi: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

try this

ln -sf /lib/libncurses.so.5.4 /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2

I'll place this symlink in the gtk2.dsl file...
The issue is caused by the upgrade to libncurses.so.5.4

The symlink has been added to the gtk2.dsl now in the repository.

Thanks for the heads-up

Hello,

I too am having trouble with gtk2.dsl. See the following errors which are visible upon exit from window manger. Installed wih the mydsl GetIt button on 0.9.0.1.

Updating the gdk-pixbuf loaders list for GTK+-2.4.0...done.
Creating /etc/gtk-2.0...done.
Updating the IM modules list for GTK+-2.4.0...done.
Updating the modules list for Pango-1.4.0...done.
Creating /etc/pango directory...done.
E: /var/lib/defoma/locked exists.
E: Another defoma process seems running, or you aren't root.
E: If you are root and defoma process isn't running undoubtedly,
E: it is possible that defoma might have aborted.
E: Please run defoma-reconfigure -f to fix its broken status.
Failed to clean up for defoma: 256 at /usr/sbin/update-pangox-aliases line 49.

If I try to run defoma-reconfigure -f it just keeps giving me the same error.

Also, I tried to get gnu-utils and still the same problem.

I think alsadebs.dsl causes the same problem by upgrading libncurses from 5.3 to 5.4

Should libtermcap.so.2 be linked to the other link libncurses.so.5 instead of the specific libncurses library?
