The main problem is that it require GLIBC_2.15, while the most updated version for Wheezy is the 2.13.
It is NOT a good solution to install that library using another repository, like "testing", because mixing the distributions like this can create system instability.
So here there is the most simple solution I have found.
We will just use the dosbox version present in the Wheezy repo, and will let it start using the GOG configuration:
1) Download the tarball of the game (I'll suppose it will be saved in the $HOME dir)
2) open a terminal
3) gunzip dragonsphere_1.0.0.1.tar.gz
4) tar xvf dragonsphere_1.0.0.1.tar
5) sudo apt-get install dosbox
6) mv ~/Dragonsphere/dosbox/dosbox_i686 ~/Dragonsphere/dosbox/dosbox_i686_ORG
7) mv ~/Dragonsphere/dosbox/dosbox_x86_64 ~/Dragonsphere/dosbox/dosbox_x86_64_ORG
8) ln -s /usr/bin/dosbox ~/Dragonsphere/dosbox/dosbox_i686
9) ln -s /usr/bin/dosbox ~/Dragonsphere/dosbox/dosbox_x86_64
10) edit, with a text editor, the file ~/Dragonsphere/dosbox/dosbox
you'll have to put a "#" at the start of ALL the lines that are SIMILAR to this one:
"export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${CURRENT_DIR}/libs"
like this:
"# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${CURRENT_DIR}/libs"
now save the changes to the file and close the editor.
11) start the game with ~/Dragonsphere/start.sh
ENJOY the game :)
NOW, at least for me there are some graphic problems while in fullscreen (like double mouse pointer and black lines) and I have to play it in a window (ALT+ENTER)
But I will try to solve those later
EDIT:
found also the solution for my fullscreen problem, I just changed an option in the "~/Dragonsphere/dosboxDragonsphere.conf" file:
from -> fullresolution=original
to -> fullresolution=1024x768
