I am using Lubuntu 16.10, testing a simple hello world:

sai at saivb:~$ uname -a
Linux saivb 4.8.0-37-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 26 02:27:07 
UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


sai at saivb:~/tmp$ cat t.d
import std.stdio;

int main(string[] args) {
	writefln("Hello world!");
	return 0;
}


I am getting the following error:

I posted this in other thread, anything else that I can do 
besides recompiling druntime/phobos?

Thanks in advance.
