Hi, all.
I installed  dmd_2.054-0_amd64.deb on Ubuntu 11.04, and the compiler
seems to work fine, but I can't execute its output. Here's what I'm
doing: (ls to show directory contents)

$ dmd testFile.d
$ ./testFile
   bash: ./testFile: Permission denied

testFile.d is the Hello world program exactly as it appears on page 1 of TDPL.

Has anyone else had this issue? If it helps, I let the software center thing do the installing, so if I need to manually change the permission of something, I probably haven't done that.

Try `chmod +x dmd` (when in the same directory as the dmd executable). That should get fixed in the package though.

Shouldn't it be `chmod +x testFile`? If I read his question correctly, compiling with dmd worked, only running the compiled program failed.

However, dmd always correctly flagged files as executable for me. @Charles could you try `chmod +x testFile` and see if it fails? The filesystem testFile is on could be configured to disallow executing programs.

Yes, it should be. /me needs to learn him an English for great good.

If that's the case, we may have found a reason for DMD to emit a warning that Walter will approve!
