I'm currently running DSL-N from a USB flash drive with boot parameters including Frugal and qemu (so I can restore my settings from running in embedded mode). When I run as embedded or standard I am unable to run any of the mydsl extension apps. I've tried downloading and running, downloading and rebooting and running, etc. but when I make a call to the extension in aterm I usually get a message like:

Code Sample

scite: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is there any resolution for this type of problem? Thanks!

Have you tried loading the extension from a terminal window to see if there are any error messages, eg:

mydsl-load /path-to-file/gnu-utils.dsl

Note also that some of the DSL extensions will not work in DSL-N.

I tried

Code Sample

mydsl-load ./scite.dsl

which is the specific application I've been trying to download and run (see error message above) but received no error messages. The only time I get an error is when I try to run the application. I'm using the http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/ URL for downloading, but have tried several others. I would've expected this URL to be DSL-N specific, but maybe that was an incorrect assumption. Is there a repository that is just for DSL-N? If not it wouldn't be a bad idea (though I'm sure it would take someone a while to organize it). Any other suggestions on how I can get SciTE working with DSL-N?

The repository for DSL-N is here.

The other way to get SciTE working in DSL-N would be to build it yourself from the binary...

Thanks for the link. The list of apps is certainly different than what I've seen in the Extension Browser on my DSL-N machine so I was most likely looking at DSL extensions. This seems like a bug (i.e. DSL-N pointing to DSL repository by default), is there a bug tracking system for DSL-N?

It looks like I may have to build the application from source so I'll do some research as to how I should go about this and post back with my results. Thanks again.
