	That's from the glibc package. You must also install the
glibc-devel package. If you have, there should be a /usr/lib/libm.so
(which should be a symlink to one of the others). If this symlink is
not there, I suggest reinstalling glibc-devel.

	You might also want to try "rpm -V glibc-devel" to make sure that
your install has not been corrupted somehow.

You may think so but this guy has been following my posts and posting without a lot of thought merely to have a shot . Bit of a paranoid I think to look at the time spent quoting other posts.

When you look closely at his posts in this thread they are mostly  wrong and rubbish - something wrong with him-

There is a limit to being polite.

I think you may have found it for me Jerome , looks like some corruption has crept in Here's the output

[root@linuxbox tytower]# rpm -V glibc-devel
missing     /boot/kernel.h-2.6.17
missing     /usr/lib/libm.so

Could not find reference to needed libraries, you used dmd instead of dsss or rebuild, so the proper -l flags were not added.

Just in passing I do not agree with this .There is no reason dmd would not add the correct libraries Prove it .

Prove it?  Prove that dmd does not guess which libraries you need?
There's nothing to prove.  DMD includes the libraries listed in your sc.ini and the source files and libs you list on the command line. Nothing else.  If you want to link with anything besides those, you have to list it yourself.  Or use DSSS.

Yeh, I just wasn't going to recommend that because I haven't personally tried to build DWT with bud.  And I don't think it's mentioned in the DWT readme currently either.  But yeh, in theory Bud should work.

You mentioned in another post that you are still working on bud, but you haven't updated svn.  Is there a more recent build of bud that we can get a hold of?  I wouldn't mind giving it a try again.

I'm a lucky guy :-)

After saying I'd work on it last night, I get a call from a customer saying that they have a big problem and thus now so do I. It positively absolutely has to be fixed RIGHT NOW! So I work at it and sometime around 11:30pm I finish. It's now the next day and I'm waiting for them to say everything's alright. I haven't heard from all day them so I'm guessing things can't be too bad ... maybe I should call anyways.

Also, Walter has now delivered DMD 2.011 so I have to recompile and fix up the 'gotchas' again. Maybe tonight ... or maybe I'll just hide away and play some CoD4 online :LOL:

Nah You are missing the point here.
dmd picks up dmd.conf in linux and the libraries are pointed to by that file

ld picks up what it needs and they end up in the command line
so the post is not right
dmd /MyStuff/main.d
dsss build /Mystuff/main.d

both do the same No?
