Hi,

Just a few minutes ago on my Linode/Ubuntu 16.10 I tried to compile a bare-bones project and I got this:

I don't know what's going on. On my other Linode box (Ubuntu 16.04) I could compile and see the output. With this Linode/Ubuntu 16.10, I cannot compile.

Can someone help me? I am new to D and Vibe.d.

It looks like this machine is using a different compiler. For GDC try
using "~>0.7.31-beta" for vibe.d instead of 0.7.30 (32-bit GDC did not
implement 64-bit atomic operations until recently and 0.7.31 avoids those).

Alternatively, using DMD or LDC would of course also be an option. But
generally this requires a large RAM/swap because compilation takes up so
much memory, so I tend to avoid it on VMs.

Thanks Sönke! I'll try your solution in the future. Meanwhile, I'll just compile on my local machine and upload to the server.

Best regards,

Rey
