AFAIK, you only need: gcc, glibc-devel, and something that provides 
libstdc++.so.5 - since DMD is being built with an older GCC compiler.
For FC5, that should be provided in the compat-libstdc++-33 package ?

You shouldn't need glib in order to compile or run D programs, though.

More descriptions and help with errors can be entered in the Wiki4D at:
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?DocComments/DCompiler
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?D__Tutorial/InstallingDCompiler

But I think that there should be DMD packages for Fedora and Ubuntu...
