I already fixed it, thank you!

(the same enum was defined in different files.)

One of the problems is that I'm breaking my own rule of never, ever
define anything outside a class.
D is unusable if you don't encapsulate every thing in classes.
(of course every thing I say is my opinion).

BTW I've being frequenting the IRC D channel lately and found
that others have faced some of the problems I am complaining for 2 years
but they just keep silent.

I found D excellent but DMD still very immature...
barely usable - but that's why it's still beta, of course.
