does anybody know how to run dmd under linux? i downloaded the tango linux binary and extracted it to a special folder. i call "export PATH..." but when i tried to run dmd all i get was

bash: /home/user/dmd/bin/dmd: No such file or directory

sorry im new to linux and just installed ubuntu 9.04 64bit.

thanks.

  • Could it be a 32-bit vs 64-bit issue? Is the package you downloaded 64-bit? – Mike Mazur Sep 06 '09 at 10:04
  • im not sure, it's a generic linux package is from tango website –  Sep 06 '09 at 10:15
  • What was the name of the special folder? and what did you set PATH to? – mmmmmm Sep 06 '09 at 17:16
  • - download file, tango-0.99.8-bin-linux-dmd.1.041.tar.gz - extracted to /home/user/dmd/ folder, so there are /home/user/dmd/bin/ .... etc. - call up 'export PATH=/home/user/dmd/bin:$PATH' in terminal - tried to run dmd with command 'dmd' and it returns bash: /home/user/dmd/bin/dmd: No such file or directory –  Sep 06 '09 at 23:20

sorry mark, formatting screwed up in comments above,

  • download file, tango-0.99.8-bin-linux-dmd.1.041.tar.gz
  • extracted to /home/user/dmd/ folder, so there are /home/user/dmd/bin/ .... etc.
  • call up 'export PATH=/home/user/dmd/bin:$PATH' in terminal
  • tried to run dmd with command 'dmd' and it returns

bash: /home/user/dmd/bin/dmd: No such file or directory
