Posted: 02/18/09 23:29:30 Completed my xml loader for one file and now when I went to do the next I get this when compiling: dsss_objs/D/gfx.texture.o:(.rodata+0x250): multiple definition of `_D5tango4text3xml8Document15T8DocumentTaZ8Document7Visitor6initZ' dsss_objs/D/pGUI.guiContext.o:(.rodata+0x248): first defined here dsss_objs/D/gfx.texture.o:(.rodata+0x2b0): multiple definition of `_D5tango4text3xml8Document15T8DocumentTaZ8Document8NodeImpl6initZ' dsss_objs/D/pGUI.guiContext.o:(.rodata+0x2a0): first defined here dsss_objs/D/gfx.texture.o:(.rodata+0x2fc): multiple definition of `_D5tango4text3xml8Document14T7XmlPathTaZ7XmlPath7NodeSet6initZ' dsss_objs/D/pGUI.guiContext.o:(.rodata+0x2ec): first defined here Just doing the standard import tango.text.xml.Document; Using dsss build / rebuild to build my projects... Anyone know a way to fix?

In file a, in the function I am using to grab my data from an xml file, I declare: auto doc = new Document!(char); In another file, i have a function that gets it's data from an xml file and do the same declaration: auto doc = new Document!(char); module File1; Some_Function() { //some stuff auto doc = Document!(char); //some stuff } module File2; import File1; Some_Other_Function() { //do some stuff auto doc = new Document!(char); //do some stuff } This causes those errors to pop up, even though the 2 Document!(char) objects are never in existence at the same time. Is there something here I am missing? I think I can bypass all this buy defining a global Document!(char) and externing it places, but not sure... Anyone have ideas?

A possible workaround is to make an alias of the template instantiation, and then you use that instead in the various files. alias Document!(char) MyDocument;

When i reinstalled everything I noticed that the .deb package for dmd installs 1.037. I had noticed something about above 1.033 not being supported so download it form the tango site and replaced my install, but still have the same issues when i'm not using my work around. What version do you recommend using?

I removed all default imports and just used DSSS. Still the same problem. Furthermore its not related to any specific D or Tango Version. I tested with various combinations. Any thoughts how to solve this issue?
