I'm running Fedora 13.x86_64 and I've tried various ways of getting a
D compiler to work. None have succeeded.
1. a. I can't install dmd 2.048:
# rpm -Uvh /downloads/dmd-2.048-0.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
gcc(x86-32)>= 4.2.3 is needed by dmd-2.048-0.i386
I don't know what package will satisfy this dependency.
b. dmd is a closed compiler. Not good. I'm really not comfortable
running a compiler for which I don't have access to the source. The
risk of undetected malware is too great.
c. So, I give up on dmd.
Apologies for the poor experience. It's because you don't have the
32-bit portability libraries on your 64-bit system. A 64-bit edition is
in the works and would certainly make everything smoother.
In the meantime you'd need to run:
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib libc6-i386 lib6-dev-i386
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
sudo apt-get install g++-multilib
We need to add these instructions to the download page.

The information is there:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dmd-linux.html#installation
However apt-get is Debian/Ubuntu specific, so these commands are not
*directly* applicable for fedora.
However equivalent packages should be available on fedora and instead of
apt-get install it's something like yum install gcc-multilib etc (or
whatever the packages are called there).
