Hi,

Even my problem is already solved, I'm passing this information because I don't know if you are aware.

Yesterday I needed to install DMD on a fresh installed version of Linux, so since I was using Xubuntu I decided to use snap.

sudo snap install dmd

Then a warning appeared saying that because some permissions I should add --classic, OK I added and the installation proceeded.

So I just ran DMD alone and I got the version and some info, but when I tried to compile a simple Hello world to check if everything was really fine, I was greeted with this:

cc: No such file or directory
--- errorlevel 255

Looking online I found my answer, this was probably because it was missing GCC, then I did:

apt-get install build-essential

And after that it worked, but I wonder... couldn't we get a hint about this after or even before installing DMD?

I remember installing other applications and being asked to install additional libraries/packages. Couldn't we have the same?

Snap package source: https://github.com/dlang-snaps/dmd.snap/

Hasn't been updated in 3 years.

I see... and even that I found my answer elsewhere, this problem was already discussed there: https://github.com/dlang-snaps/dmd.snap/issues (GCC isn't part of the dependencies).

But there was no further progress.

You could try on linux,
apt-cache search dmd
apt-cache search ldc
apt-cache search ldc2
