Any debugger that uses standard debugging information. If using linux, you
can use gdb. If using Windows, you can use, for example, Microsoft's
windbg.exe program (which comes on the DMC++ CD).

couldn't find hello.d for you, is it in your default directory?

All the command is issued from the same dir:

dmd/samples/d

so it should be able to see hello.d

Which version of gdb you're using?  and which Linux distribution (RedHat 9.0)?

What's the word on this?
I'm trying to use gdb (with DDD frontend) and having the same
problem.
I can see all the GTK+ sources (C of course) but not
my D program (some DUI test).

Can some post the status of debuging on linux?
An entry on the wiki FAQ would be nice.
