digitalmars.D.learn - installation and configuration of vibe

I attempted once to install DMD on OSX using the .dmg installer but it 
wasn't available. Since then I've simply downloaded the zip file, unzip 
it into /usr/share/dmd and create two symlinks to DMD and RDMD in 
/usr/bin/. Installation instructions contained in the readme file of 
vibe suggests that I use the .dmg installer. Since I did not, I get the 
following error after executing vibe:

andrew:vibe andrew$ vibe
Error: module object is in file 'object.d' which cannot be read
import path[0] = /usr/share/vibe/bin/../source
import path[1] = source
import path[2] = /tmp
Failed: 'dmd' '-g' '-w' '-property' '-I/usr/share/vibe/bin/../source' 
'-L-levent_pthreads' '-L-levent' '-L-lssl' '-L-lcrypto' '-Jviews' 
'-Isource' '-v' '-o-' '/tmp/vpm.d' '-I/tmp'

what do I need to do to configure vibe so that it can finds the D 
installation without using this installer?

I suggest you first try and compile a simple Hello World in D :

// main.d
module main;

import std.stdio;

void main ()
{
     writeln("Hello World");
}

$ dmd main.d

How the most obvious things elude us. I recently switched from placing 
"alias dmd=/usr/share/dmd/osx/bin/dmd" .bash_profile (which has worked 
perfectly for me since I bought my MAC) to placing the symlinks in 
/usr/bin/. Typing DMD and RDMD at the terminal window and seeing help 
and usage information for both programs display properly, I assumed that 
they work. But since moving from the command line interface to Alexander 
Bothe's awesome Mono-D ide a little while back, I haven't compiled 
anything at the command line so hadn't realized that it wasn't working.

Long story short, it does not compile...
I wasn't expecting to anything else since the simple one liner placed in 
.bash_profile took care of the issue. What am I missing?

You may need to create a symlink for the dmd.conf file as well, it's 
located next to the dmd binary. Double check that the dmd.conf file 
looks correct, when it's located in the zip it expects the src directory 
to be two levels up.

Alternative you can try out DVM:

https://bitbucket.org/doob/dvm

"DVM allows you to easily download and install D compilers and manage 
different versions of the compilers."

Just got around to looking back at this. That was in fact the 
piece of missing information. I never linked to or modified the 
dmd.conf file. Every thing works great now. Thanks for the DMV 
info but I prefer to do this manually. This way I'll never have 
to worry about an installer package being broken or unavailable. 
Besides, once you know what to do, this is pretty simple.

Thanks

Sure, but when you built the tool/installer and know how it works :) 
it's pretty nice to not have to do it manually each time.
