Given other recent issues with tango + gdc, I'm reattempting to install it on my machine (Mandriva Linux 2007 spring) for testing.  Below is my most recent failed attempt with the installer.

[root@localhost Desktop]# ./tango-0.99.1-gdc-i686-pc-linux-gnu-withGDC.sh
What path do you want to install GDC to? /bin
Done!
[root@localhost Desktop]# ls /bin/gdc
ls: /bin/gdc: No such file or directory

{some research}

[root@localhost Desktop]# ./tango-0.99.1-gdc-i686-pc-linux-gnu-withGDC.sh
What path do you want to install GDC to? gdc
Failed to install Tango core
[root@localhost Desktop]# ls gdc
bin/  include/  lib/  libexec/  man/

{manual setting of PATH and running of install-gdc.sh}

gdmd ...

{no includes found}
{obtain include files via tar source copy - PS: Broken links on download page again}

gdmd ... -I/path/to/tango

Well, for Linux, you have to specify -version=Posix

You might find it a lot faster to take some of these questions to the IRC channels? They're noted on the "contact us" page on the Tango website
