Your error is occurring from having phobos installed. Check in /etc/ and 
remove any dmd.conf files. It is likely that this file is pointing to 
Phobos. If you wish you may also want to make sure that /usr/local/bin 
(or where the dmd executable has been installed) has a dmd.conf file that 
point to tango libraries.
