I am getting the following error while compiling a d hello world program.

Could you show your HW-program's code? I'm betting you have a line that looks something like this: Am I right? If so, just remove it. Its unneccessary. -- Chris Sauls

This sounds like you haven't got the installation quite right. There is no "phobos.d" file as the phobos modules have been compiled and placed in a library file. Please check that ... a) You have the location of the DMD binaries and DM binaries in your PATH symbol. For example, I have this in my PATH symbol ... PATH=z:\dmd\bin;z:\dm\bin b) You have the correct configuration file for DMD. This is called "sc.ini" and in located in "dmd\bin\" folder. It should look something like this ... [Version] version=7.51 Build 020 [Environment] LIB="% P%\..\lib";\dm\lib DFLAGS="-I% P%\..\src\phobos" LINKCMD=% P%\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe c) Try the sample program listed below ... <code for 'helloworld.d' > import std.stdio; int main(char[][] args) { writefln("hello world"); writefln("args.length = %s", args.length); foreach(int idx, char[] str; args) writefln("args[%s] = '%s'", idx, str); return 0; } </code> d) I wrote a tool that makes compiling D programs easier. It's called "Build" and you can download it from DSource (which contains lots of D projects from lots of people) . Download BUILD v2.08 released 29/May/2005 from ... http://www.dsource.org/projects/build/ You can compile your D programs with it by doing this ... build helloworld You can add the -V switch to get lots of messages that might help you diagnose the problem you have. -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?FrontPage 3/08/2005 6:42:17 PM
