Latest GDC release is also in the soon-to-be released Ubuntu
13.10, if that's useful to you. And check D.Announce for the
latest info on D packages in Arch Linux.
I can't remember if you've tried to build from source, but for
what it's worth that's now a fairly straightforward, albeit
time-consuming, process. So don't be afraid to do that in order
to have the latest release. I can help guide you through it if
you like.
Thank you, J R,
for the info and your friendly offer to help. But I'm already
fine and settled thanks to some hints in the GDC forum and in
particular thanks to hints and help from Iain Buclaw (whose help
and work can't be praised enough).
In case someone else runs into similar problems:
debian unstable (or unstable based derivates) offer GDC-4.8
apt-getable .deb (and phobos) which works well right out of the
box.
Thanks and A+ -R
