So I install this package, and then get an error that tells me the next 
package to install. After I install that one, I get an error about the 
next one. Rinse, repeat, ad infinitum.

No, I have all of the D package I need for my work. However, I do not do 
any GUI development outside of HTML, so I don't have, and don't intend 
to install, any of the X development libraries, particularly the 
unnecessarily overloaded garbage collections required for Gnome or KDE. 
That's why I need a binary installation package. Your rather naive 
assumption that everyone should install a complete GUI development 
environment is the problem here.

It looks like I stick with OOo.draw, and don't get to find out if it 
really is possible to create a real ERD in dia and translate it into SQL.
