Thanks both. Well after several hours of hacking I have 
spectacularly failed to build GDC on any arm based debian 
environment - tried both my RPi and Cubieboard. In both cases it 
fails with a pile of compilation errors.

I'm guessing that D just isn't mainstream enough at the moment to 
be properly supported on Debian and yet it's too big and 
complicated to build easily yourself and so it's probably a 
non-starter for me at the moment. There is a pre-built package on 
debian gdc-4.4 but it's too old to build vibe or dub from my 
experimentation.

I guess I'll go back to plain old C.

Thanks anyway - I'll check back in a few years.
