I am trying to set up a dev environment in Ubuntu 9.10 with DMD v1.053 & DSSS v0.78.

I installed DMD to: /opt/dmd
and DSSS to: /opt/dsss

When I compile a GtkD app (for example) I get this output:

Code:
Default prefix /opt/dsss is unwritable, using /home/zane/d instead.


Of course the app compiles ok, but what exactly is this telling me? Should I be doing something else to avoid this?

Thanks very much in advance![/code]

I it's telling you that it can't create files in /opt/dsss, most likely because it needs root access.

Yes, but is this how DSSS was intended to be used? I guess my question is: Should I be running DSSS/DMD as root or is that a no-no?

Thanks for your help so far!

I have no idea, I never run it as root.
