Using DMD2 on Ubuntu 9.04 x64?

[Gareth Charnock]

Yes it is possible and you don't even have to mess about with chroot. I 
think the package you're looking for is ia32-libs. This is my dmd.conf file:

[Environment]

DFLAGS=-I%@P%/../../src/phobos -I%@P%/../../src/druntime/import 
-L-L%@P%/../lib -L-L/lib32 -L-L/usr/lib32

I think the important bits are -L-L/lib32 and -L-L/usr/lib32, the other 
three arguments are peculiarities of my set up.

I already had to install the 32-bit version of libstdc++ 6 to get it to run in the first place. Does this mean that I need a 32-bit version of the pthread dev libraries? If so, I can't find one in Synaptic. Is there some other place I can find such a thing?
