I've had an error.

One day my pointers to mktemp (and related libc routines when done in code 
rather than shell scripts) will sink in.  Please don't invent ways of 
making semi-unique files and directories.

So, where on the file system does it install dmd and all its stuff?

Currently in "/usr/share/dmd" with symlinks in "/usr/bin" and "/usr/lib" 
IIRC. Shouldn't be any problem to change that.

I'd tend to prefer /usr/local/share/dmd and /usr/local/{bin,lib,man}.

For one thing that'll allow things to work with D for Xcode out of the 
box (which expects to find dmd and phobos in /usr/local/{bin,lib}) and 
also I think it is a better place to install stuff not provided by the 
vendor (Apple in this case). Typically, the vendor of a UNIX 
distribution put its things in /usr and leaves /usr/local clean so 
users can install their files separately of the ones provided by the 
distribution. Or at least that's how I understand things.

I didn't know where to put it so I just chose a place. There was some 
other installer that put it in /usr/share so I put it there as well.
