Jacob, can I just run the commands or do I need to be in a
specific directory (/usr or /usr/bin or something like that)? Do
I need to replace the ${MAKER} string? If so, with what?

I am trying to upgrade to DMD 2.061. What am I supposed to do?
I tried
running the installer but I got the same error I got the last
time (see

or
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/bug-868...@http.d.puremagic.com/issues/).
We need to fix that somehow. I have an idea that might fix this.
Jacob, do I need you to custom-make a non-broken installer
like you did
for 2.060? Is that something I can realistically do myself if
I don't
know much about D or OS X installers? Why isn't something like
this on
the download page?
Yes, it's fairly easy to do. Download the zip as you did and
run these commands:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/blob/master/osx/Makefile#L32
The commands between line 33 and 42. You have to replace the $1
and $2 with 2.061 and 2.
I downloaded the zip
(http://downloads.dlang.org.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/releases/2013/dmd.2.061.zip
. Is this the right one?) but I don't know what to do with it.
I am
guessing some stuff should go in /usr/bin and some other stuff
should go
in /usr/share but I don't know what.
Can anyone help me with this?
The installer installs the compiler into /usr/share/dmd if I
recall correctly. It then creates symlinks to /usr/bin. You
need to replace the following:
/usr/share/dmd/bin
/usr/share/dmd/lib
/usr/share/dmd/src
With the same folders from the zip.
I do really recommend DVM instead, even if it's not an official
way to install DMD. It's easy and allows you to have multiple
compilers installed:
