nope. it cannot be any easier to install dmd

I also verified all the versions using dmd --version. They are 
all the same version, straight off the dlang website.

My TrueOS download just completed, so I'll give that a go later 
today.

btw. I discovered that a small change to the code, and it will 
compile ok:

--------------------------------------------------
import std.stdio;
//import std.conv; // this will *not* compile.
import std.conv : to; // this will compile ok.

void main()
{
     auto i = to!string(55);
     writeln("i is a ", typeof(i).stringof);
}
-----------------------------------------------
