DSL Linux: http://damnsmalllinux.org/

I got it installed and all, but when I try to run it I get...

"openttd: error when loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

What is that file, and where do I get it, and where should I put it? If installing it would make running OpenTTD possible?

DSL provides a too old version of a necessary library. Not much we can do about, except telling you to ask the DSL devs to add a newer version of that library.

Furthermore it misses SDL, so it won't do anything except the dedicated server anyway.

Ah ok. Thanks for the help.

You can download libraries and other Linux files from some web pages. Google is your friend.

Now the package you may get may not be for DSL and may fail to install but you can manually place the file where DSL has its libraries and it my work. A long time ago I had the very same problem (same libary?) with another game and it worked. Only keep in mind that there may exist a link that refers to a different version of the library. E.G: link may say "library x version 0.7" but your Linux distribution has only 0.8 version and 0.7 is not existing. Link links to 0.8 instead. Even though there is backwards compatibility not all applications will run with 0.8. Then you delete the link and copy the correct version 0.7 which you downloaded from the web.

hmm i might be dumb but why dont you apt-get the dist and that should in theory install all the relevent files needed.
