don't want to put them under /usr/ to avoid "polluting" the
directories managed by APT. So I said tar xf
ldc2-0.10.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz -C /opt and then symlinked ldc2 and
ldmd2 binaries to /usr/bin/.

However when trying to compile a simple D program I get:

ldmd2 01-namaste.d
/usr/bin/ld: fatal error: namaste: open: Is a directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Error: /usr/bin/gcc failed with status: 1

Along with the binary tarball, please include installation
instructions so newbies like me can install and use it. Thank you.

Hi Shriramana!

The way you installed ldc looks ok. I did the same (on Gentoo 
Linux) and it works fine.

 From the error message I wonder if something like this happens:

- Your file is named 01-namaste.d
- The file contains a module named namaste
- You have a folder named namaste in the folder where you are 
compiling

In this case ldc creates an object file 01-namaste.o but writes 
an executable called namaste (conflicting with the folder name).

Regards
Kai
