I am planning to try D for the first time in my life. I have a 
MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).

I went on the D downloads page and clicked on the link for the 
dmd 2.060 installer for OS X. I opened it and double clicked on 
the "DMD2.pkg" file within it. The installer came up with some 
text including a line that read "This package is intended for Mac 
OS X Leopard (10.5) only.". I tried to find a version for OS X 
10.6 but I couldn't, so I ignored the warning and clicked 
"Continue".

I clicked through the agreements and questions, and then when it 
finished, the installer gave this message:


 The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error 
 that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software 
 manufacturer for assistance.


Someone on the forums suggested running the Console app when trying to install
D. I tried that and got these messages:

I haven't bothered with these installer since I have DVM which I think is much
better. But since I created that installer I probably should take a look at it.

Could you try this installer:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18386187/dmd-2.060-osx-installer.zip

I built it on Mac OS X 10.6.3.

Jacob, I tried the installer and it seemed to work fine. I was able to compile
and run a D program. It seemed to put the dmd compiler in my /usr/bin
directory. It did not put rdmd there. Running "dmd" or "/usr/bin/dmd" worked
fine but "rdmd" and "/usr/bin/rdmd" did not work.

Thank you. I am glad to have something that works. Out of curiosity, what did
you do?

I guess that rdmd wasn't available when the installer was created.

I just built the installer on Mac OS X 10.6. I would guess that means the
installers created on Mac OS X 10.7 or later aren't backwards compatible, or 
there's a missing flag or similar.

I'm pretty sure this is fixed in this commit:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/commit/947929b30456bb925ef021d16341a2f272a5a2ed.
I haven't verified that it's fixed.
