I've not used Dark GDK but possibly you need to install the DirectX SDK.
I have installed the newest DirectX SDK and I am not sure where the lib would go, but I did not adjust any of the default settings. Anybody else have this problem?
I did a search for dxerr9.lib on my pc
it found it here
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2009)\Lib\x86
make sure you have this folder (or wherever your install is) in your lib directories

So I went to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2009)\Lib\x86
and there a bunch of stuff in there. How do I put this folder in my lib directories?
I imagine your using Visual Studio Express?
Go to Tools >> Options >> Projects and Solutions >> VC++ Directories
Now on the right you should see a drop down that says
Show directories for:
Change it to Library files and make sure the folder is in there
Go to Tools >> Options >> Projects and Solutions >> VC++ Directories

Yes I am using Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express.
Yes, the folder is in there as well, it is on the top of the list, but still not working for some reason.
Have an idea why?
Sorry I'm out of ideas.
If the lib is in there it should be able to find it.
You could remove dxerr9.lib from your linker options
as long as there is no code calling the lib
Go to Project >> (name) Properties >> Configuration Properties >> Linker >> Input
then on the right side it will show you Additional Dependencies
delete dxerr9.lib and it won't need it anymore
but if there is code calling it then you will get link errors when you try to build

I went to the Additional Dependencies but the space is blank.
Also I was looking this problem up online as well and it said something about the August 2009 DirectX SDK either changed 'dxerr9.lib' to 'dxerr.lib' or completely removed it. Is that the problem? Just throwing stuff out there
did it make files for you automatically in the project?
check through them and see if you can find
#pragma comment(lib, "dxerr9.lib")
check back in your folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2009)\Lib\x86
and see if either of the files dxerr9.lib or dxerr.lib is actually in there
