1) Did you clone the `dmd` repository yourself? 2) Is ../dmd existent? Try nuking ../dmd and doing a fresh clone of ../dmd It looks strange because normally the path should be ../dmd/generated/linux/release/64/dmd so it looks like the OS and MODEL detection doesn't work. That happens in dmd/src/osmodel.mak

I forgot to check, but I deleted the dlang.org directory and tried again starting from git clone and this time it appears to have worked. Guess I should have tried that first before posting.
