It's not you who are stupid, it's lack of documentation. :-)

Erm, questions..

No ready to run libs, they would have to be tuned against the DGD language
and the MudOS-alike DriverLib. However if you configure the dgd config
file (dgd.cf) and put a driver binary in the bin/ directory, the package 
should be able to run by itself using a bare-bone "mudlib".

Ok, here's the steps.

First test if it is working with the bare-bone mudlib:
    1) Configure 'dgd.cf' and replace the 'driver' binary in bin/
    2) Test it by running 'bin/D' or 'bin/DD'
    3) Logon by telnet to localhost and the port described in 'dgd.cf'

If everything was found to work okay, and you wish to implement a mudlib:
    1) Put the mudlib-source under 'mudlib/', leaving 'mudlib/dgd/' alone.
       'mudlib/std' and 'mudlib/log' may be completely removed, as long
       things defined there is redefined somewhere else- or dependencies
       updated to the new form.
    2) Modify 'dgd/master.c', dgd/simul_efun.c and put additional sfuns in
       'dgd/sfun/'
    3) Modify 'dgd/config.h' and 'dgd.cf' to suit your needs.
    4) Make a prayer.
    5) Execute 'bin/D' or 'bin/DD' (restore state dump)
    6) Iterate through steps 1-5 until the driver comes up, you manage to
       login and everything is found to work okay.

Thanks for your interest, I'd be very glad to hear more about this.
