Thank you, J R,

for the info and your friendly offer to help. But I'm already
fine and settled thanks to some hints in the GDC forum and in
particular thanks to hints and help from Iain Buclaw (whose help
and work can't be praised enough).

In case someone else runs into similar problems:

debian unstable (or unstable based derivates) offer GDC-4.8
apt-getable .deb (and phobos) which works well right out of the
box.

Thanks and A+ -R
