Hi Jon, The dbug script (which I authored) has no dependencies. You can download it and run it on its own if you like. You can download the MooTools library from the mootools download page and then download additional scripts (from MooTools More or from the Clientcide libraries). If you do this, you'll have more than one script to include; -core, -more and/or the Clientcide libraries.
The Clientcide builder gives you the option of building a single file with the things you need. So you can download all of -core, and then specific plugins you need from -more and the Clientcide libs and get a single js file. As for all of this being too complex, we've tried our best to make this as simple and usable as we can. Is there something specific that you're having problems with? Looking at the error that you get with dbug, I don't think the problem is with dbug (as, again, it has no dependencies). Your example script uses domready (note that dbug.log doesn't interact with the DOM, so you don't need to wait for it to log things), so if your clientcide download only included dbug, and you didn't also include the MooTools -core (or at least DomReady from it), then you'd get an error. Can you post your test online?
