But the problem is that those binaries can only be installed on an i386 arch and not on an amd64 version of ubuntu... thats a pity...

Can you build a shared library with it?

Unfortunately not, however I downloaded the deb-src and added -fPIC to the makefile stuff and now I can (not that I tested whether I can link to the shared library, just test that it can make them although I would like to assume that they are use-able).

Last time I tried, the problem was that the x86_64 version didn't build shared versions of all of it's own libs, and on i386 you can link a non-pic lib to a pic one, but not on most other arch, (including x86_64).  So, you couldn't build a shared lib on gdc x86_64 (or at least, you couldn't really use it).

Oh!! I'll try it again.  My first attempt was with Feisty on a macbook and the installation (with synaptic) didn't work.  I'll try on Gusty!

Many thanks.
