I am using dmd v2.067.0 on Mac OSX with Terminal and I found the 
lack of line numbers surprising.
Is there something simple I am doing wrong? Do any of the 
switches on the command line do this?

BTW I only found out about D a couple of weeks back. It seems to 
be very impressive!

It does post line numbers. Please post source and compile line that 
causes this, and also result so it may be duplicated.

My apologies, the problem was caused by the font colour (black) 
not visible with Terminal using a black background.

Without debug symbols the line numbers aren't available (IIRC). 
Add -g to your compile switches.

That's only for exceptions. Compiler always gives line numbers.
