How the most obvious things elude us. I recently switched from

symlinks in
/usr/bin/. Typing DMD and RDMD at the terminal window and

they work. But since moving from the command line interface to

anything at the command line so hadn't realized that it wasn't
working.
Long story short, it does not compile...
I wasn't expecting to anything else since the simple one liner
placed in
.bash_profile took care of the issue. What am I missing?
You may need to create a symlink for the dmd.conf file as well,
it's located next to the dmd binary. Double check that the
dmd.conf file looks correct, when it's located in the zip it
expects the src directory to be two levels up.
Alternative you can try out DVM:
https://bitbucket.org/doob/dvm
"DVM allows you to easily download and install D compilers and
manage different versions of the compilers."
Just got around to looking back at this. That was in fact the
piece of missing information. I never linked to or modified the
dmd.conf file. Every thing works great now. Thanks for the DMV
info but I prefer to do this manually. This way I'll never have
to worry about an installer package being broken or unavailable.
Besides, once you know what to do, this is pretty simple.
Thanks
