Oh, of course.  I did once know this years ago, but I'd forgotten as it's so
long since I last installed a shared library into anything other than
/usr/local/lib.

Well, I have had no problems with dmd, but when I tried also adding /opt/gdc/lib
I got the following error message upon running ldconfig:

    /sbin/ldconfig.real: /opt/gdc/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.18-gdb.py is not an ELF
file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.
