I am using DDBI version trunk .62 which is the last version that uses phobos and it is working perfectly.  I had to add .length function to it, for Row[].  I can not tell you where to find libmysql.a because I am using sqlite instead.  I guess I am going to have to move to Tango soon or later, but now I have to complete my task and then back to the drawing board with Tango. ;-)
