I copied libphobos to /usr/lib/x86_64.../ Then created a soft 
link with "ln -s" for libphobos2.so.0.67. But later I realised 
that link wasn't set correctly. Before that I wrote the message. 
So thankfully it works now.

But I am still wondering what changes would be coming to there. 
There was a thread I was reading that is started by Andrei in 
2012 about shared library issues. Someone asks whether they are 
resolved in 2013, another asks in 2014. Now we are in 2015. I am 
not sure if there is any resolutions about them.
