I'm trying to get my v0.97 D compiler configured properly.  I've placed
the "dm" and "dmd" folders in my path, and I can call "dmd.exe" without
problems.  I have not altered the paths within the "dmd" folder, nor
have I altered sc.ini.  When I try to compile the sample programs, I get
an error message:

	Error: Error reading file 'object.d'

My *unaltered* sc.ini looks like this:

	[Version]
	version=7.51 Build 020

	[Environment]
	LIB="% P%\..\lib";\dm\lib
	DFLAGS="-I% P%\..\src\phobos"
	LINKCMD=% P%\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe

If I copy object.d to the "samples\d" folder I can compile the sample
programs without errors.  I'd appreciate some advice on correctly
configuring the compiler so it can find "object.d" in the normal path,
"..\src\phobos", as specified in sc.ini.

You need to place the dmd/bin folder in your path, nothing else eg.
I installed to d:\d\dmd and d:\d\dm and my path setting includes 
d:\d\dmd\bin

In the sc.ini below DFLAGS is used to locate object.d, I believe % P% is 
replaced by the path in which sc.ini exists (not 100% sure), so in my case 
"d:\d\dmd\bin", meaning object.d should be in:
   d:\d\dmd\bin\..\src\phobos"

which it is for me.

 , and I can call "dmd.exe" without
 problems.  I have not altered the paths within the "dmd" folder, nor

Thanks to Regan Heath for the speedy reply.  It turns out my problem was the
path I had placed the "dmd" folder under, within a directory named "Digital
Mars".  Apparently the include flag doesn't like paths with embedded spaces.
Changing to a path with no spaces, ie. "Digital_Mars", solved my problem.
Placing "dmd" in a drive's root path conflicts with my personal sense of
order.
