Hello All,
I have been looking at D off and on for several years. Initially I
worked through a very painful experience to get D compiling on Linux.
After that experience, I concluded that I should wait for it to become
more mature. Since then, I do a very simple test. I install the latest
package and try to build "Hello World". I figure that if "Hello World"
builds successfully, I will continue further. I have just downloaded the
latest .deb package and installed it on Ubuntu 12.04 32bit. Once again
it fails this incredibly simple test. I've read many discussions about
how/why, has/hasn't, will/won't D hit the mainstream in programming
languages. I think this situation may offer at least one data point. I'm
struggling to think of any other language (and I use several) that won't
build code out of the box. D seems to have a lot of potential, but this
needs to be fixed. I am not asking for help on this. I honestly don't
care what the solution is. I just wanted the D developers to know why at
least one developer is not using the language. I sincerely hope that the
situation will improve. I'm looking forward to programming in D.
Thanks for your time,

Here is the code:
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
writeln("Hello, world!");
}
Here is the command:
dmd hello.d
Here is the output:

I really don't know what to tell you, because:
$ dmd -m32 test.d
$ dmd -m64 test.d
$ cat test.d
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
writeln("Hello, world!");
}
It Works For Me (TM).
What package (URL please) did you install?
