Ok, you're trying to use the Tango library.  It's not the default 
library that comes with DMD, and it is in fact a completely separate, 
incompatible runtime for D.  It replaces low-level things like the 
built-in garbage collector.  Because of that, installation of Tango is a 
bit more involved.

If you want to use Tango, then starting from your current install, 
follow the instructions here:
