Can't install DMD 2.060 on OS X 10.6.8

[Elias Zamaria]

"Check the Console"? How do I do that? What console are you 
referring to?

Also, why is this installer on the official-looking download page 
if it doesn't work? Should whoever is in control of the page put 
this other thing there instead? I have no idea how I was supposed 
to know about DVM.
