Oh wow I had the main function inside a class, I can't believe the answer was so simple. I feel like an idiot now.

The linker errors are really hard to read if you haven't seen them before (and sometimes even then)...

Yeah I'm new to D if you couldn't tell. I figured it must have been something I did wrong when I installed dmd, but I guess it was just a dumb mistake.

Can you attach the Test.d? But it looks like you didn't define a main function.

 wtf this means.
These are linker errors. Just read the first two line:
 /usr/lib/libphobos2.a(dmain2_459_1a5.o): In function
 `_D2rt6dmain24mainUiPPaZi7runMainMFZv':
 (.text._D2rt6dmain24mainUiPPaZi7runMainMFZv+0x10): undefined
 reference to `_Dmain'
The linker looks for a D main function since it is referenced in the function with mangled name _D2rt6dmain24mainUiPPaZi7runMainMFZv. But it cannot find it (i.e. the reference is undefined) you'll get this error and subsequent errors. Jens

I started seeing these same errors after installing 2.6.  Perhaps
it is a linker problem tied to some conf file (in debian or dmd)?
The crude solution that works for me is to delete / re-establish
soft-linked libraries.
