I am having a problem compiling a simple program when working through "The D
Programming Language". The program is like so:
#!/usr/bin/rdmd
import std.stdio, std.string;
void main()
{
//Compute counts
uint[string] freqs;
foreach(line; stdin.byLine())
{
foreach(word; split(strip(line)))
{
++freqs[word.idup];
}
}
//Prints count
foreach(key, value; freqs)
{
writefln("%6u\t%s", value, key);
}
}
but this is the error I get when running it.
brian@brians-tower:~/Programming/D$ ./readingHamlet.d

I feel its probably something to do with the way I have installed/compiled
the library but I'm at the end of my current knowledge in how to fix this.
Any idea on where I should be looking/what I should be looking for? I have
been following the various advices on how to install the library correctly,
but feel I may have gotten myself into more trouble doing this now.
It means that it can't find the source code for druntime. Likely, your dmd.conf
is messed up or it's in the wrong place. There should be a dmd.conf file next
to the dmd binary. It defaults to something like this
[Environment]
DFLAGS=-I%@P%/../../src/phobos -I%@P%/../../src/druntime/import -L-
L%@P%/../lib64 -L-L%@P%/../lib32 -L--no-warn-search-mismatch -L--export-
dynamic -L-lrt
Assuming that you just unzipped the zip file and used that, then everything
should be in the right place. Presumably, the same goes for the deb or rpm
packages if you used those. If you moved any of it around yourself, then
you're probably going to have to make sure that you have dmd.conf next to the
dmd binary and that it actually sets DFLAGS such that it points to where the
source for druntime and Phobos is as well as where libphobos.a is.

The error message could be a lot better. I've posted a bug report with
suggested wording:
