I'm having some trouble with dmd.conf. I set up a (soft) symbolic link

Fully specifying the path works, and putting dmd.conf in /etc also
works, but is less than ideal. This is in bash (Konsole) on OpenSuse
11.1.
Anybody an idea what I am doing wrong?
I'm not sure what you mean by "symbolic link to the dmdxxxx/bin path
version I want..."
DMD looks in only 2 places for dmd.conf, the location of the dmd
executable, in your case /home/lutger/code/bin/dmd/bin/, and /etc/
It also looks in HOME and the current directory.
I should have explained clearer. I have setup 3 installations of D that I
use:
~/code/bin/dmd1033/bin
~/code/bin/dmd1037/bin
~/code/bin/dmd2025/bin
Then I make a symbolic link to one a these paths:
~/code/bin/dmd/bin
What you could do is, undo what you've done so far, then make a symbolic
link like this:
cd ~/code/bin
ln -s dmd1033 dmd
then put ~/code/bin/dmd/bin into your PATH.
Now it should work.
Any time you want to switch version, just do
cd ~/code/bin
rm dmd
ln -s dmd2025 dmd
and now you're using dmd v2025.
I just tested this with dmd1040 and dmd2025, so it works.
The symbolic link is in PATH. This way I can easily switch between whatever
d executables, libraries and so forth as required while keeping them
seperate.
The problem I'm experiencing is that DMD can find dmd.conf in it's own path
only when I fully qualify the dmd command like this: ~/code/bin/dmd/bin/dmd
main.d
Putting dmd.conf in /etc works though, and putting dmd.conf in the current
path (of the source I'm building) also works.
Furthermore for D1 I'm using dsss in the same way and this doesn't cause any
problems. I thought perhaps some other dmd got picked up, but 'which dmd'
picks out the right path for dmd, if this command is reliable?
