If dsss works but complains that gdc is missing, you need to look at the 
files in /etc/rebuild (or wherever you installed dsss to). You should 
copy dmd-posix-tango to dmd-osx-tango or something similar and change 
any usage of "Posix" to "Darwin". Then edit the file 'default' in that 
directory and change it to say 'dmd-osx-tango'.
