1) Did you clone the `dmd` repository yourself?
2) Is ../dmd existent?
Try nuking ../dmd and doing a fresh clone of ../dmd

It looks strange because normally the path should be 
../dmd/generated/linux/release/64/dmd so it looks like the OS and 
MODEL detection doesn't work. That happens in dmd/src/osmodel.mak
