If anyone's curious, I did get a basic D cgi app to work, too (ie, Compiling on CentOS 4.2 in a VM and uploading to my shared host server), but I had to: 1. Recompile DMD (Because the precompiled DMD would immediately quit with a "Floating point exception" message, even if called with zero args). 2. Remove "-L--no-warn-search-mismatch" (Because otherwise, when it tried to link, the GCC in CentOS 4.2 would error out and complain that wasn't a valid switch.) As a little bonus, the C test app I compiled in the CentOS 4.2 VM also ran fine on my physical Kubuntu 10.04 box. Although the D one segfaulted. No big deal deal though, it's easy enough to compile on that box. The only problem I'm having now (aside from the fact that I haven't attempted to deal with the other shared host server yet - the debian one from the horrible ipower company), is that CentOS 4.2 (or maybe it's just KDE) runs so slow in a VM that it frequently doesn't recognize when I let go of a key and so then it goes off doing crazy shit. :/ Or it'll swap my key presses if I type too fast. At one point I had a hell of a time just getting it to let me type in "cd dmd" correctly. (I don't think it's entirely because of my computer though. XP runs just fine in a VM for me, even with only 192MB RAM allocated to it instead of the 512MB given to CentOS 4.2) So I'm going to try putting CentOS 4.9 in a VM and replacing KDE with XFCE. And I'll also have VirtualBox enable 3D accel and see if maybe then the "VirtualBox Guest Additions" package will be able to use OpenGL.
