Quick point about paths and so on: if you don't understand
what's going on, or have just made a change and want to be
sure whether it worked, always open a new terminal session
and try again. There are caches that can need emptying,
environment variables that get inadvertently set etc.
I can't count the number of times I've been convinced
somethings completely broken only to start a new terminal and
find it all makes perfect sense again.
Totally simple, obvious advice, I know, but nonetheless
always worth repeating.
Thanks for the advice.
By the way, do you know a clean way to manage the installation
and eventually the uninstallation of dmd, and all libraries
related to D, etc, so that I don't have anymore these kind of
problems?
Compilers and tools: If possible let homebrew manage
everything. If not feasible, use a separate folder for manually
installed tools, don't let them get confused with installations
from installers, package managers or system tools.
Libraries: let dub handle them, if possible. If not possible,
see above.
Ok, thanks, I will try to follow those advices.
