What utilities from the bundle do you use? 
Might be possible to install them all separately. 
And don't forget to delete libstd.so.6 or whatever, if you need to.

Also, if you ever figure out why poets/bards/dancers just randomly start butchering people/getting butchered, please don't fix it, I love never knowing when a dance party will turn into a slaughter.

:) thanks for the help, i just generated a new world - which dfhack modules?
autoprune dead/missing list; don'tcooktallow; enhanced gameplay; other automation plugins; mousequery; performance tweaks;

 - currently i was just so much facepalming as i still have so much to learn about linux.
the basic LNP works, i use only soundsense so far, but i already tested and DT works,
created a world with LNP and now going for the lnp with mephs.
if mephs can create a world whiel soundsense is running, i'll embark and use DT.

Thought I'd finally contribute to this forum after silently reading in the shadows for so long

My facepalm moment was when my fort was being attacked, I closed the doors(aka the three large drawbridges that create the path into my fort) and then I realized a kid was still outside the doors and had to watch as they bravely fought off three of the invading elves before dying, that was the son of the leader of my fort, he then dived off the tower to save his kid and I had to watch as he died as well, then the fort died cause the elves killed everyone after breaking down the doors

Wait, what? Drawbridges can only be destroyed by temperature and tantrums.

Yea that was the problem, one of my dwarfs had a temper tantrum and destroyed the drawbridges because the elves were sieging us for so long he went crazy( we kinda deforested a whole jungle and then sold them everything we made with the wood) sorry I didn't make it clearer, (I just attibuted the crazy dwarf to them cause my fort was working without crazy dwarfs for almost 10 years in game before the 3 year long siege)

He destroyed three drawbridges? That is some bad luck right there. Also, I didn't realize the elves still declared war after enough refused requests to sell wood.

Elves only have natural animals, which are not building destroyers. If you have any door in the corridors, lock the door and they wouldn't have passed!

When I realized what exactly "infinite water source" meant.

Hint: flooding. Fun.

I just discovered why I haven't been able to mine deeper for over a year, for no reason.
I built a grate and level covering the entrance to the deeper area to stop the irritating underground monsters from just waltzing up the mineshafts and into my fort. then i totally forgot because they blend in near-perfectly with the surrounding floor and I've been so busy revamping my upper levels' defenses.

I always assumed that when I heard somebody mention clowns, they were actually talking about an army of honest to goodness clowns that attacked you if you found some kind of clown car easter egg. To this day when I see the elf bards that my texture set gives clown sprites to, I have a tiny heart attack because some unconcious part of me still thinks there are actual clowns in the game that will fuck up my shit.

This is exactly why (although not the only reason) calling hellspawn "clowns" is so stupid.  *Facepalm*
