Cannot find libphobos2.a ?

[Andre Tampubolon]

Sorry, there was a typo. The actuall full path is:
~/Digital-Mars/phobos/generated/linux/release/32/libphobos2.a

So I changed to command into:
~/Digital-Mars/dmd/src/dmd -I~/Digital-Mars/druntime/import
-I~/Digital-Mars/phobos
-L-L~/Digital-Mars/phobos/generated/linux/release/32 test.d

And the same error still happens
