Hi all,

I have no idea what happened, but rdmd gives me the strangest error:

/usr/local/bin/dmd: failed to launch executable at /Library/Compilers/dmd2/osx/bin/dmd.Failed:

I uninstalled dmd (using Jacob Carlsberg's uninstall shell script) and reinstalled 2.066 on Mac os x (yosemite) and this error persists. dmd works fine, but rdmd is bad.

Any ideas on what's wrong?

Thanks,

Chuck Allison

These things are pretty much always caused by leftovers from previous installations or misconfigured dmd.conf

P.S. homebrew has up-to-date dmd etc.

I don't recognize /Library/Compilers/dmd2 at all. It's not from a tool/script I have created. If you're referring to me :). How did you install it?

BTW, DVM [1] is a great tool for installing DMD on all platforms. It supports having multiple version installed at the same time. The you can easily switch between them.
