Sounds like your deflibs file is either missing or corrupt. The library
in question is blitzlibs:amigalibs/intuition.library1 so make sure you
have that and then remake your deflibs file. I think deflibman can do
that, but if not, you should be able to download the command makedeflibs
from the Blitz2000 site (http://www.blitz-2000.co.uk) and then run that
from a CLI.

There shouldn't be that much duplication (in fact, there shouldn't be
any). Generally speaking, your directory structure should look similar to
this (these are only the main files and probably don't need to be
duplicated):

Blitz2:
|
|- Main programs (Blitz2, Ted, Help, Help.dat, defaultdbug)
|- dbug/
| |-REDDebugger
| '-structure.lookup
|- acidlibs (all the Acid commands, Blitz v1.9+)
|- deflibs (all 3rd party libraries compiled into 1 file from the files
| in the subdirectories of Blitzlibs:)
|- userlibs/ (should normally be empty, used for testing libraries
| you are writing)
'- Blitzlibs: (may or may not be under the Blitz2 directory)
|- amigalibs.res (OS resident)
|- bb2objtypes.res (Blitz object types)
|- amigalibs/
| '- #?.library? (library files for OS)
|- userlibs/
| '- #?.obj (3rd Party libraries)
|- otherlibs/ (possible different name for the above directory)
|- NLibs/
| '- #?.obj (NCS libraries, but can easily be put in userlibs)
|- basic/ (Blitz basic keywords libraries, only for Blitz < v1.9)
'- system/ (as above)

If you have installed the Blitz Support Suite, you'll have a few more
directories in the Blitz2: directory, for that. Things like Startup,
RedHelp, Plugins and SupportSuite.

Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If they aren't there the
first time you need them, chances are you won't be needing them again.
