I'm trying to compile and run a couple of the D samples provided with the compiler and keep getting a can't find 'link' error. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Here is the same error generated when I attempt run the example provide at www.digitalmars.com/d\alpha.html.

E:\dmd\samples\d>\dmd\bin\shell all.sh
shell 1.00
\dmd\bin\dmd hello
link hello,,,user32+kernel32/noi;
Can't run 'link', check PATH
Error: '\dmd\bin\dmd' not found

Simple compile attempts does not generate the '\dmd\bin\dmd' not found error message. I'm also not aware of such a directory, however, there is a '\dmd\src\dmd'. I've tried copying the dmd directory from this location to the location specified by the error. Still no dice.  Any suggestions?

copy link.exe from dm\bin to dmd\bin, or add dm\bin to your path

Interesting there's no dm\bin directory either.  Thus: no linker. It is not included in the dmdalpha.zip file I downloaded.

It's not part of D. It's the DM C++ compiler. In alpha.html it says that the
file is needed (dm.zip)

There should be a file
    \dmd\bin\dmd.exe
on your machine, which is the D compiler. There should also be a file:
    \dm\bin\link.exe
which is the linker, and the linker should be on your PATH, as in:
    set PATH=\dm\bin; .. the rest of your PATH ..
