I fixed a few 'bugs' now. It should work; The only thing is, that you can't compile by "./<prefix>/bin/dmd stuff", because ld won't find libphobos.
But I've got a workaround for this:

> ./prefix/bin/dmd -c stuff
> gcc stuff.o -o stuff prefix/lib/libphobos.a -lpthread -lm

That worked on my server, logged in as normal user, install-d.sh executed with "--noroot" option.

Aborting installation."; exit 1` and others, are they correct? The ` operators, (what's the name of that character? backquote?) will cause the shell to run the command given by the output of the command given to ` `. So: `echo "Extracting failed. Aborting installation."; exit 1` will try to run the command "Extracting" which of course doesn't make sense. -- Bruno Medeiros - CS/E student "Certain aspects of D are a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural."
