Thank you. I got it working and Hello World compiles and runs :D.


... I followed the 'Setup program' instructions, but skipped the 
important point above the heading: "In all the cases, the DMD D2 
compiler must setup and its location has to match to one of the 
directory of the PATH environment variable.".  I only had ldc2 
installed. After installing dmd coedit did work.

After playing around a bit i noticed, that something is wrong 
with the project management. While the single Hello world 
compiles and runs, I can not compile a project. i get the 
following messages:

- compiling
- has been successfully compiled
- output executable missing: /tmp/app

I found the compiled 'app' file next to the coedit executable.

Also the 'project inspector' seems not to work. When i add files, 
they are not listed there.

Something seems not to be setup properly on my machine.
