Can You be more explicit?
I've not a 64 bit system available.


dmd links to ctnrl.o or something like that, which is in glibc-devel and must be 32 bit. If the 32 bit version ain't there, there be linker errors on compile.

in the spec file, after

Requires:    gcc

add

Requires:    glibc-devel(x86-32)

I know nothing of specific minimum version or anything like that, though.


Many thanks for Your answer.

This rpm package is build for a i386 platform, and it's only installable on a 
i386 system (without force it to), so the dependencies are for i386 
installation. Of course It can be forced to install in another platform as 
x86_64, alpha, arm, hppa, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc, etc. but I cannot 
assure that the compiler will work on all of them. You talk about the 
glibc-devel package, but this is not the only one needed by the compiler, dmd 
also needs gcc (32 bits) and in Your rpm (as in mine) do not specifies anything 
about arch, also there is a missing library on Your rpm, libgcc_s.so.1 is 
needed too by dmd.

One solution for this problem is to explain the trick needed to install the 
ix86 dmd rpm package on a x86_64 system, as Walter has done with the same 
situation for the dmd deb package, 
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dmd-linux.html#installation

Another one is to create a x86_64 rpm package of dmd 32 bits compiler. I don't 
like this solution because when dmd 64 bits appears in the near future, this 
will be a source of confusion.

And My preferred solution, create a i386 chroot machine inside Your x86_64 
system, install dmd package on it and compile Yours  D programs on it too.

I apologize for my bad English.
