digitalmars.D - UDA / File missing from fedora package / Packaging

Hi everybody!
Going from strong C(++) background, I've discovered it and became 
a fan at the first sight.

So now, while learning the language, I'd tried this example:
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_concurrency.html

[Mathias Mars DPlayground]$ dmd server.d
server.d(6): Error: module thread is in file 'std/thread.d' which 
cannot be read
import path[0] = /usr/include/dmd/phobos
import path[1] = /usr/include/dmd/druntime/import


[Mathias Mars DPlayground]$ rpm -qa dmd
dmd-2.063.2-0.x86_64

List of files provided by package dmd:
[Mathias Mars DPlayground]$ rpm -ql dmd | grep thread
/usr/include/dmd/druntime/import/core/sys/osx/mach/thread_act.d
/usr/include/dmd/druntime/import/core/sys/osx/pthread.d
/usr/include/dmd/druntime/import/core/sys/posix/pthread.d
/usr/include/dmd/druntime/import/core/sys/windows/threadaux.d
/usr/include/dmd/druntime/import/core/thread.di
/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/c/linux/pthread.d
/usr/share/dmd/html/d/phobos/core_thread.html
/usr/share/dmd/html/d/phobos/std_thread.html


Is it a bug in packaging, or I am missing something ?
Speaking about packaging, the "make install" rule of phobos 
doesn't seems correct to me ( 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/master/posix.mak 
). It even contradicts with itself, stating the files are 
installed in /usr/lib/ while $INSTALL_DIR is ../install
Is a fix welcome ?

Last, and least, I've seen UDA around few times. Google didn't 
gave so much results, and this term is not defined in the 
glossary. Can someone introduce me to the concept (or at least, 
tell me what it stands for) ?

Thanks in advance !

Thanks for the link, I missed that part.
The missing header was just a stupid C/C that I missed.
