Yes it is possible and you don't even have to mess about with chroot. I think the package you're looking for is ia32-libs. This is my dmd.conf file:

[Environment]

dflags=...@p%/../../src/phobos -...@p%/../../src/druntime/import -l...@p%/../lib -L-L/lib32 -L-L/usr/lib32

I think the important bits are -L-L/lib32 and -L-L/usr/lib32, the other three arguments are peculiarities of my set up.

I installed the DMD2 compiler as per the instructions here:

After tweaking the conf file to get it actually working, I tried compiling a simple 
"hello, world" program. This was the result:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.3/../../../libpthread.so when searching for 
-lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libpthread.a when searching for 
-lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthread
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1

Okay, so I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that the DMD 
compiler is 32-bit only, right? I already had to install the 32-bit version of 
libstdc++ 6 to get it to run in the first place. Does this mean that I need a 
32-bit version of the pthread dev libraries? If so, I can't find one in 
Synaptic. Is there some other place I can find such a thing?

Has anybody else managed to get DMD2 up and running on Ubuntu? It _is_ 
possible, right?

Any help would be appreciated.
