Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Looks like a C compiler is used instead of a C++ compiler. Despite the 
extension, dmd's *.c files are C++ code.

Yes, that's what I thought - redhat has gcc, but not g++.  There 
must
be a needed compile option...

Yes - I needed to install gcc-c++, not g++.  That fixed 
everything.
