Regardless, the symlink issue alone shows that using the zip file format

Is it so hard to convert the zip to tarball in the installer scripts?
(hint: no)
But unless the zip itself is fixed, then anyone downloading it is going to
end up with a screwed up *nix setup unless they fix it themselves. It
would be far better to just fix the zip.

wouldn't they have a screwed up setup with a tarball as well? They'd
still need to fix $PATH and whatever you need to fix to make -lphobos2 work.
All you should have to do is set the PATH so that it has dmd in it. Everything
else should just work.

Okay, so I unzip to /home/ellery/Downloads/dmd2, add
~/Downloads/dmd2/linux/bin64 to PATH, and try to build a shared library.
At runtime, it gives me
./test1.x: error while loading shared libraries: libphobos2.so.0.63:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
And I don't even remember how to fix this. You have to muck around with
ldconfig, which requires root, or something. Maybe there is a way to
make the compiler point the shared lib dependency to
/home/ellery/Downloads/linux/lib64/libphobos2.so ? But yuck.
