I had some luck building a local copy of llvm in my home

3.5 i used) specifying:

--configure --prefix=/home/andrew/llvm

so make install would install it somewhere I had permissions.

Then I changed the cmake command to:

cmake -L -DLLVM_CONFIG="/home/andrew/llvm/bin/llvm-config" ..

and I got a working install of ldc.

Make yourself a cup of tea while you wait though if you try it, 
llvm was about an hour and a half to compile.


Thanks for your suggestion. I'm amazed by the amount of effort 
you guys put into helping me. Unfortunately the only precompiled 
version of libstdc++ available for the system in question via Red 
Hat repo's is 4.4.7, and compiling llvm from scratch requires at 
least 4.7. I'll be fine using DMD for now as I'm still learning 
more about D :).
