gdc does not work in intrepid

[Vincenzo Ampolo]

Binary package hint: gdc-4.2

gdc is simple unable to compile even a simple, easy, hello world program.

root@earth:~/dsss-0.75# cat test.d
import std.stdio;

void main(string[] args)
{
    writefln("Hello World, Reloaded");
}
root@earth:~/dsss-0.75# gdc test.d
gdc: error trying to exec 'cc1d': execvp: No such file or directory
root@earth:~/dsss-0.75# gdc -v

gcc version 4.2.3 20080225 (prerelease gdc 0.25 20071215, using dmd 1.022) (Ubuntu 0.25-4.2.3-2ubuntu2)
root@earth:~/dsss-0.75# cd /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.2/cc1d
bash: cd: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.2/cc1d: Not a directory
root@earth:~/dsss-0.75# file /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.2/cc1d
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.2/cc1d: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

As you can see the cc1d program is there, but gdc is not able to find it.

if i install gdc-4.1 it works like a sharm:

root@earth:~/dsss-0.75# gdc-4.1 test.d
root@earth:~/dsss-0.75# gdc-4.2 test.d
gdc-4.2: error trying to exec 'cc1d': execvp: No such file or directory

I think that the problem is in the source. Please try to fix it since a not usable gdc is useless. Thanks.

it's working on my computer (also an amd64).
apt-cache policy gdc gives me:
fabrice@fabrice-desktop:~$ apt-cache policy gdc
gdc:
  Installed: 4.2.4-2ubuntu2
  Candidate: 4.2.4-2ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 4.2.4-2ubuntu2 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So it seems that you're not using the latest version.

Can you try with version 4.2.4?

I've checked in intrepid:

goshawk@earth:~$ gdc test.d
goshawk@earth:~$ ./a.out
Hello World, Reloaded
goshawk@earth:~$ apt-cache policy gdc
gdc:
  Installed: 4.2.4-2ubuntu2
  Candidate: 4.2.4-2ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 4.2.4-2ubuntu2 0
        500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

It works like a charm now. I'm closing the bug.
