Apparently, gdmd expects gdc to be in the same directory as itself. Once 
Orkhan finds out where gdc is on the system, the following should work:

$ sudo ln -s 
/home/acehreli/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gdc 
/usr/local/bin/gdc

Orkhan, replace 
/home/acehreli/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gdc with the 
gdc binary that you have. e.g. if it's under /usr/bin, then do the 
following:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gdc /usr/local/bin/gdc

P.S. I've just installed gdc after downloading it from its download site 
( http://gdcproject.org/downloads ) with the following two commands:

   unxz the_file_you_downloaded
   tar xvf the_file_you_unxzipped

Those commands created the following directory in my case.

   /home/acehreli/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

That's why my gdc is named 
/home/acehreli/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gdc above.
