Here's what I sent the guy:
======================================
1. I put up a new download,
http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.2.047.zip
All that's different is it adds the file:
dmd2/osx/bin/dmdx.conf
and adds a revised license file:
dmd2/license.txt
which hopefully will make things clearer.
2. I revised the installation instructions:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dmd-osx.html
which now also include instructions for building dmd and the runtime library. If
things still fail for you, please let me know.
========================================
If these changes improve things, I'll fold them into D1 as well.
