I think I posted in the wrong group already, but.. ok..

So I have used DMD on RedHat 9, it worked great. Now I am using Fedora 4, and it's  being problematic because it doesnt have version 5 of libstdc++.so, but rather it has version 6.

What should I do?

Thanks,
Trevor Parscal

Install the 'compat-libstdc++' rpm package?

I did just that before you mentioned it... It worked.. Sometimes I ask dumb questions...

Now I am wondering why shell scripts are acting up in Fedora 4.... Anyone seen this behavior: When I use file paths as arguments to a program, like "dmd Program.d" it can't find the file... Even when it's obviously there... I tried doing a cd to the directory using a root based path, and it did the same.. Don't know what's with that...

And yes, I googled the hell out of it.. :)

Thanks,
Trevor Parscal

Maybe "chmod +x dmd" helps?

I some times got that from Makefiles. In all cases, the solution was to make sure it called /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh. It's a symlink, but apparently the binary does a name check.

Hope this helps.

I've had that problem too. I think you (Walter) are using a kinda old linux distro. Or gcc version, I dunno.
