[haXe] Having trouble getting started

[Henk Boom]

Hi, I'm trying to get started using haXe to create flash files, but
I'm having a few problems.

I first tried to install the linux binary, but it refused to work
(complained about needing a newer glibc than I had around), so I
compiled and installed it from source following the instructions at
http://haxe.org/compile . One thing I noticed is that the following
line from the linux section of the tutorial:

> sudo cp haxe/bin/* /usr/local/haxe/bin

Should probably be:

> sudo cp bin/* /usr/local/haxe/bin

As there is no haxe/bin as there is a haxe/std, but there is a ./bin

Now the haxe executable seems to run fine, but look what happens when
I try to compile the tools:

> henk at henk-linux ~/local/haxe/std/tools/haxedoc $ haxe haxedoc.hxml
> /home/henk/local/haxe/std/Hash.hx:200: characters 3-9 : StringBuf has no field add2

and

> henk at henk-linux ~/local/haxe/std/tools/haxelib $ haxe haxelib.hxml
> /home/henk/local/haxe/std/Hash.hx:200: characters 3-9 : StringBuf has no field add2
> /home/henk/local/haxe/std/IntHash.hx:191: characters 3-9 : StringBuf has no field add2

Slightly discouraged, I tried the hello world tutorial at
http://haxe.org/tutos/start/flash . However, something doesn't seem to
be working right:

> henk at henk-linux ~/dev/haxe/helloworld $ ls
> compile.hxml  Test.hx
> henk at henk-linux ~/dev/haxe/helloworld $ cat Test.hx
> class Test {
>     static function main() {
>         trace("Hello World !");
>     }
> }
> henk at henk-linux ~/dev/haxe/helloworld $ cat compile.hxml
> -swf test.swf
> -main Test
>
> henk at henk-linux ~/dev/haxe/helloworld $ haxe compile.hxml
> Class not found : Test

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, does anyone have any suggestions?
