gee, why is this forum so dead?
anyway, since there is no "help me" part of the forum, i figured this is a good place to put my new-guy question:
i get this error when compiling:
object.d: module object cannot read file 'object.d'
what does it mean? i googl'd around, and found nothing. i searched the forum, and found very little useful info on this error message.
anyway, D looks like a great language, but it'd be nice to see some "step 1, unzip the 'dmd.zip' file", "step 2...." type of tutorial, but couldnt find one.
tia.
okay - i'm brilliant.
so here is the bonehead instructions:

Are you using the latest version of DMD? I found a mention of someone having this problem in Linux with this a couple years ago, but it seems to have been a compiler bug: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/16219.html
Someone using GDC seems to be having a problem recently with this: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/D/gnu/1311.html
Another apparently had a problem in Windows due to spaces in a directory: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/8053.html
If you feel let down by the "official" installation guide, you might find the user-maintained version helpful: http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?D__Tutorial/InstallingDCompiler

I'm getting this too, the links aren't helping and I've had it working before using the second method on the wiki4D site. _________________ I am myself and that is me. |

You might try posting about your problem in one of the Digital Mars newsgroups such as dm.D.learn or D.gnu. |

I'm wondering if I haven't heard that this happens when you have a class called Object in your project, and since this conflicts with the std lib base class (for all D classes), you get an error message. Since Object is hardwired into the compiler, the error message is rather obscure and incrompehensible. |

And for future reference, the problem was with dmd.conf, I didn't have it in the proper place.
Windows: with the dmd compiler edited so that DFLAGS=-I/"location of phobos source"
Linux: in /etc edited so that DFLAGS=-I/"location of phobos source"
Code: | [Environment]
DFLAGS=-I/usr/local/lib/phobos |
