dmd2-2.052 is only for i386, while you are running amd64 (or dmd2 on FreeBSD)

I'm aware of multlib in Linux distros considering I spent more than
5yrs on Gentoo mostly running x86_64 as well as >3yrs running x86_64
Archlinux.

However, multilib was used for stuff like Wine, Skype, flash plugin,
acroread...iow proprietary stuff for which vendor does not provide 64
bit version, but I've never encountered the need to use multilib for
any compiler/programming language (Scheme, Lisp, Erlang, OCaml,
Haskell).

Please, name one which does not have 64bit version?

So, I believe it's quite a moot point in regard to compiler for
programming language.


Sincerely,
