Hi,

I get the following error while running a simple hello world program compiled with the new v2.063 compiler. This is on Ubuntu 12.04.

error while loading shared libraries: libphobos2.so.0.63: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've just run:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libphobos2.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libphobos2.so.0.63

for now but i've never had to do that before. Is this a problem with the installer?

If you had to do that, then yes.

I didn't have to do that on my Debian Unstable, but maybe I was lucky. However the structure:

	libphobos2.so the file
	libphobos2.so.0.63 a symbolic link to libphobos2.so

is non-standard and not compliant. The standard structure should be:

	libphobos2.so.0.63 the file
	libphobos2.so.0 a symbolic link to libphobos2.so.0.63
	libphobos2.so a symbolic link to libphobos2.so.0

Create a bug report for it. I don't think that Walter realizes what's standard. And this whole problem probably stems from the fact that he can't put symlinks in the zip file that he generates, so he was talking about making it up to the maintainers to create the various symlinks, which IMHO is unacceptable long term, but it seems to require either changing the main release from a zip to something like 7zip or breaking it up per OS like a number of people have been asking for for ages. Regardless, the fact that the installer and rpm and whatnot are broken is unacceptable.

I have installed 2.063 version on Ubuntu 12.10 without problems. I was using downloaded .deb file which updated older apt-get installed version 2.062. So, at least on Ubuntu 12.10 it's working properly.

Because of the problems of zip with symlinks. He would have to change how they're created (and probably not use zip at all) in order to fix the problem, and apparently, he wasn't willing to do that for this release. That doesn't mean that the problem can't or won't be fixed for the next release, but it required too many changes to how Walter normally functions for him to be willing to do it correctly for this release.

Nick Sabalausky was looking at fixing up how the zip files are generated for Walter so that they we have separate packages for each OS, and if sorts that out, then I'm sure that the symlink issue can and will be sorted out. I believe that the push is to fully automate generating the release packages (probably using the autotester), but it pretty much requires folks other than Walter making those changes, since he doesn't change his habits and procedures with regards to this sort of thing very easily.
