I attempted once to install DMD on OSX using the .dmg installer but it

it into /usr/share/dmd and create two symlinks to DMD and RDMD in

vibe suggests that I use the .dmg installer. Since I did not, I get the
following error after executing vibe:

what do I need to do to configure vibe so that it can finds the D
installation without using this installer?

I suggest you first try and compile a simple Hello World in D :

// main.d
module main;

import std.stdio;

void main ()
{
     writeln("Hello World");
}

$ dmd main.d


How the most obvious things elude us. I recently switched from placing "alias dmd=/usr/share/dmd/osx/bin/dmd" .bash_profile (which has worked perfectly for me since I bought my MAC) to placing the symlinks in /usr/bin/. Typing DMD and RDMD at the terminal window and seeing help and usage information for both programs display properly, I assumed that they work. But since moving from the command line interface to Alexander Bothe's awesome Mono-D ide a little while back, I haven't compiled anything at the command line so hadn't realized that it wasn't working.

Long story short, it does not compile...
I wasn't expecting to anything else since the simple one liner placed in .bash_profile took care of the issue. What am I missing?
