Looks like you have the MS tools in your path before the digitalmars ones.

Hello torhu,
i added the all D's directories paths like dsss before the tools but 
still get the same error.
I checked dsss and re-installed also but i am getting the same problem

here is my PATH
C:\d\bin;C:\d\dsss\bin;C:\d\dwt-win\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\Common\Tools\WinNT;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\Common\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin;

Then there's probably no lib.exe in c:\d\bin.  Or dsss is autodetecting 
and and making a mistake.

I have checked, c:\d\bin does contain lib.exe
If dsss is auto-detecting and making a mistake then it is a mistake the 
dwt installation files or dsss files because i have followed the exact 
instructions for windows installation in DWT's wiki.
Is there a fix?

Thanks again,
Rakan

Most likely, that's not the path you're really using.  Try setting the 
path to just 'C:\d\bin;C:\d\dsss\bin' and building again.  And verify 
that c:\d\bin\lib.exe is really digital mars lib.exe, not MS.

If you're familiar with tools like Process Explorer or Process Monitor 
(freely available at sysinternals.com), you can easily see which lib.exe 
rebuild is executing.

Another way is to check dsss/rebuild's source code to see how lib.exe is 
found.
