I know, but I thought maybe DVM tries different addresses, if one is not working. Anyway it should be on dlang.org/changelog.html.

For what it's worth, if you do "dvm install 2.065.0" it will find
it.  Not sure if DVM should try alternates or not though.

DVM will try to fetch the exact version you specify. The version, in this particular case, is 2.065.0. Note the extra zero at the end.

I've seen this mistake several times, missing the extra zero at the end. Perhaps adding a special case for that.

Weird, I did try the zero at the end (as described on the homepage*), yet I got an error. Maybe I typed a comma instead of a "." without realizing it. However, I'm almost sure I didn't type the zero when installing 2.066 and I got the right version.

If you've seen this mistake several times, maybe it would be good to point it out under "Usage". And maybe having/trying more than one mirror would be good too, if it makes sense for DVM.

DVM just takes the argument you give it, in this case 2.066. Then it prepends "dmd." and appends ".zip" forming something like this:

dmd.2.066.zip

Then it prepends "ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/" to that filename. If there is a file matching that name in the Digital Mars FTP it will work. As you can see, there is no file named "dmd.2.066.zip", so you must have used "2.066.0".

There is no mirror, as far as I know.

On Debian 7.6 64-bit I got this error:
----
$ dvm
dvm: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by dvm)
----
"libc6" on Debian 7.6 (stable) is v2.13.


On Debian testing:

----
$ dvm install 2.065.0
Fetching: http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.2.065.0.zip
[========================================>] 50581/49347 KB

Installing: dmd-2.065.0
An unknown error occurred:

...
----

After manually created this directory and properly install dmd 2.065.0:

----
$ dvm use 2.065.0
$ dmd
bash: dmd: command not found
----

What I'm doing wrong?

dvm install dvm

On Debian testing (mate desktop) without ~/.dvm dir, dmd still not found:
----
$ dvm install dvm
$ dvm install 2.065.0
Fetching: http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.2.065.0.zip
[========================================>] 50581/49347 KB

Installing: dmd-2.065.0
$ dvm use 2.065.0
$ dmd
bash: dmd: command not found
----

BTW Is there a reason to mandatory copy dvm to ~/.dvm/bin directory?
