Hi Werner, It's not a fundamental problem with gdc. As I say, the 4.3 version on my updated Ubuntu lucid system works (albeit 32 bit).
gdc is the default d compiler on Debian and Ubuntu. If it turns out that certain versions don't work then we should warn people and test for them. I'd like some more data points first though. Alan, what version are you using? I'm assuming it is gdc-4.1 from Debian stable. A further search shows there is a specific issue with this Ubuntu gdc version https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdc-4.2/+bug/235955 so it looks like it is just me. This is not the current version of Ubuntu, so this should be a passing issue.
