The line won't be in there by default, as the tango user library isn't 
required to write your applications, only the runtime is. If you'd like 
to report a bug it should be to the packagers to see if they can 
automatically add in the user library to the configuration file when you 
install it. I'll add a note to
http://dsource.org/projects/ldc/wiki/BuildInstructionsUbuntu for future 
users in case anyone else has the problem.
