If the included libraries don't work, you might like to try the ones from here:

http://svn.dsource.org/svn/projects/bindings/trunk/lib/

download those, and put them in your /dm/lib directory. Also make sure sc.ini is present in /dm/bin.  Try it again.  Does it work?

Also it looks like Ant provides them as a separate download here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=97723&package_id=136197&release_id=284444

as openGLLibs.zip.  Strange.  These look to be the same files as above.

In fact, it doesn't look like the opengl libs are included with the windows installer... so no wonder...

Q: Does C or C++ have a "good usable GUI" ?

I was under the impression you just linked
to some system libraries or other library...

As for a good standard library, *that*
is something that really needs be fixed.

And it gets better with every DMD release,
and there are third party efforts as well ?

C# and Java are managed languages, so they don't really compare ?
(and there are at least three such APIs for Java: AWT, Swing, SWT)

Some nice wrappers for the standard GUI libraries like GTK+ is
nice to have, and something that is actively being worked on...

But I am not sure that D would need a GUI in the phobos library ?

I strongly disagree with the idea of a GUI being included in the phobos or any standard library.  I think GUI design can not be standardized.  Peoples tastes vary too much.  Better to have several open source developments going in this area.
