I use Ubuntu 14.04 x32. Here is the dub.json file content

{
	"name": "tkdapps",
	"description": "A minimal D application.",
	"copyright": "Copyright © 2015, karabuta",
	"authors": ["karabuta"],
	"dependencies": {
		"tcltk": "8.6.5",
		"tkd": "1.1.4"
	}
}

Just incase, I have install version 8.6 of the Tcl/Tk libraries

What is the problem. And how is tcltk different from tkd in the 
first place?

Did you get the development version?

sudo apt-get install tk-dev

or possibly

sudo apt-get install tk8.6-dev

should do it. I'm not actually sure if that's required for this 
(I've never used it) but it might be.

tkd is just a D wrapper for the library.

Thanks Adam, sudo apt-get install tk-dev worked. Hurray! lets 
start GUI programming in D!

It looks like the libraries are not installed or not installed
