object.d: module object cannot read file 'object.d'

The fix was to alter dmd.conf, thus:

[Environment]

DFLAGS=-I/usr/local/dmd/src/phobos -L-L/usr/local/dmd/lib
#DFLAGS=-I% P%/../src/phobos -L-L% P%/../lib

I'm running on Ubuntu Hardy Heron.  dmd is installed in /usr/local/dmd, 
but the execution is via symbolic links in /usr/local/bin.  My guess is 
that it's reading the compilation path via the links rather than the 
installation location.

Sorry I didn't file this via Bugzilla, but I'm on the wrong computer, 
and I don't have my account memorized.

But how can it know, where it's installed?
% P% is replaced with directory of conf file, where does it reside?

The benefit of links is that the application does not know that it is a link 
(and shouldn't try to find out).  This is the expected behavior in my 
opinion.

IIRC On linux you can get away with not using a dmd.conf at all. It requiters 
that stuff be put in all the right places.

I have a script that seems to work most places I have used it (YMMV so take 
it more as guide lines)
