"Check the Console"? How do I do that? What console are you
referring to?
Also, why is this installer on the official-looking download page
if it doesn't work? Should whoever is in control of the page put
this other thing there instead? I have no idea how I was supposed
to know about DVM.

I am planning to try D for the first time in my life. I have a

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".
It's supposed to work even if it says "This package is intended
for Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) only.".
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.
Why did this happen? What am I supposed to do about it?
Hmm, can you check the Console and see if it says anything
about the installation.
Instead of this installer I would recommend installing DMD
using DVM:
"DVM allows you to easily download and install D compilers and
manage different versions of the compilers."
It's also cross-platform.
