I am planning to try D for the first time in my life. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).

I went on the D downloads page and clicked on the link for the dmd 2.060 installer for OS X. I opened it and double clicked on the "DMD2.pkg" file within it. The installer came up with some text including a line that read "This package is intended for Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) only.". I tried to find a version for OS X 10.6 but I couldn't, so I ignored the warning and clicked "Continue".

I clicked through the agreements and questions, and then when it finished, the installer gave this message:

> The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

Someone on the forums suggested running the Console app when trying to install D. I tried that and got these messages:

I haven't bothered with these installer since I have DVM which I think is much better. But since I created that installer I probably should take a look at it.

Could you try this installer:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18386187/dmd-2.060-osx-installer.zip

I built it on Mac OS X 10.6.3.

Jacob, I tried the installer and it seemed to work fine. I was able to compile and run a D program. It seemed to put the dmd compiler in my /usr/bin directory. It did not put rdmd there. Running "dmd" or "/usr/bin/dmd" worked fine but "rdmd" and "/usr/bin/rdmd" did not work.

Thank you. I am glad to have something that works. Out of curiosity, what did you do?

I guess that rdmd wasn't available when the installer was created.

I just built the installer on Mac OS X 10.6. I would guess that means the installers created on Mac OS X 10.7 or later aren't backwards compatible, or there's a missing flag or similar.

I'm pretty sure this is fixed in this commit: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/commit/947929b30456bb925ef021d16341a2f272a5a2ed. I haven't verified that it's fixed.
