I've just tried to install the official 2.062 (x86_64) rpm on my Fedora 18 box and it fails with the same messages as in the original bug report.

However, after some bugfixes, the Makefile and dmd.spec files in my first patch build an rpm that installs OK.  A patch containing the bugfixes has been uploaded.

Thank you. May I ask that you do this as a "pull request" on the github repository?

I'll do that as soon as I figure out how :-)

I'll merge the two patches into one.

In the meantime, it looks like I may be getting a successful debian
installation using a different (network) boot iso so I'll (hopefully) be able
to check the problem with dmd_rpm.sh.

BTW it looks like whoever is writing the rpm spec files is using outdated documentation as the files no longer have to be as complex as those being defined.

It is worth figuring out how. If not just for D, a lot of projects are on github now.

Yes, I know.  I'm not a git user as I prefer Mercurial which is similar but with a much better designed user interface.  I have books and other documentation for git, however, so I should be able to figure it out.

I'm still having trouble getting Debian going.  My latest attempt refused to boot after installation because of a "pointer" error (whatever that is) so I'm trying again.  (So far I'm very unimpressed by Debian.)

BTW the rpmsrc directory in installer hasn't been touched for 2 years.  Would it be a waste of my time to look at resurrecting it?

So far my attempts to do "pull request" (using the recipe at git hub) fail at the "push to repo" stage with the message:

error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while accessing https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack fatal: HTTP request failed

Any tips?

It's OK.  I've found a more detailed recipe which tells me I need my own fork of "installer" on github to do a "pull request" so I'll do that.

Bug fixed on the rpm building script.

Here you can download fixed rpm packages:

http://d-packages.googlecode.com/files/dmd-2.062-1.fedora.i386.rpm http://d-packages.googlecode.com/files/dmd-2.062-1.fedora.x86_64.rpm


I didn't know about this bug, so please, next time you can inform the packager too for a faster solution. This information is present on every rpm package, and is for situations like this:

$ rpm -qpi dmd-X.XXX-X.fedora.x86_64.rpm
