I don't think it works like that. If I remember correctly, you 
can either
a) do it the linker way: `dmd -L-L~/.dub/packages/consoled-1.0.0/ 
-L-lconsoled ...`, or
b) do it the dmd way: `dmd 
~/.dub/packages/consoled-1.0.0/libconsoled.a ...`.

But is there a file /usr/local/include/d/std/range.d? If so, 
that's apparently not from your latest install, and it may 
confuse ldc. If there is no such file, then I can't make any 
sense of the error messages.
