Hello chmod+x,
Another source of misery are the contents of the dmd zip file. Every
time you need to set +x flag for the executable. This is so
ridiculous. Does the Creator accept one bit binary patches to the
distributions to make the solution a reality? It's open source:
unzip dmdzip.zip
chmod +x executables
zip -r dmdzip *
IIRC the .zip is created on a windows box so that doesn't exactly work.

I have written this script to aid in my installation of different dmd
versions, and it's made it much less unpleasant. Because in addition to
the chmod+x, it always unpacks into dmd2, which may not be where you want
to put it. It installs dmd version X into the directory ~/dmd-X and
automatically chmods the exes. It assumes your files all download into
the ~/Download directory. It also will list all dmd versions you have
downloaded if you don't specify a version.
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$1" ]
then
echo Error, must supply dmd version to unpack.
error=1
else
filename=~/Download/dmd.$1.zip
if [ ! -f "$filename" ]
then
echo DMD version $1 does not exist.
error=1
fi
fi
if [ "$error" = "1" ]
then
echo here are the valid versions:
for fname in ~/Download/dmd.*.zip
do
basename $fname .zip | sed 's/dmd\.//g'
done
exit 1
fi
tmpdir=`mktemp -d /tmp/dmd.XXXXXXXX`
cd $tmpdir
unzip -q $filename
chmod 755 dmd2/linux/bin/*
mv dmd2 ~/dmd-$1
cd ~
rmdir $tmpdir
exit 0
