Can any Linux guru please help me decipher the following inscrutable error
message encountered when trying to build hello world on a Linux cluster that I
don't have admin privileges to:

dsimcha canton:~$  dmd/linux/bin/dmd hello.d

--- errorlevel 1

The DMD version is 2.026.  An identical error message occurs on D 1.041.  I
know the Linux distro on this cluster is fairly new since the kernel is
2.6.27, but that's about it.  For all I know, a trained monkey could have set
the stupid thing up.  Any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting
something like this?

Looks like you're trying to link with the 64 bit library when you need 
the 32 bit one. x86_64 means 64 bits. The 32 bit versions may not be 
installed.

Duh, didn't notice that x86_64 in there.  Good call.  I guess I should nag the
sysadmin to install the 32-bit versions.  Thanks.

For whatever reason, with some distro's they are installed but not on the 
linker path by default.
