Sorry. That's a problem with DSource. The maintainer hasn't been 
around in a long while. I'll have to look into moving the 
Derelict forums somewhere else, probably to my own server, when I 
have a chance.

Not sure what's going on here. In the error message, the part 
before the '-' indicates that Derelict is attempting to load the 
library name you told it to. But the part after the '-' is the 
message reported by the system, and that indicates the system is 
looking for a different file name (and, oddly, an SFML file 
rather than CSFML). Is lib/libcsfml-window.so by chance a symlink?

My Linux box is not immediately available and I am swamped with 
my new business, so I'm afraid I'll be rather useless in helping 
you figure this out.
