If you'd like to try something with LDC2 on x86-64 linux and don't want to
go through the hassle of compiling it yourself, grab this:

It's a dmd-style extract-and-done package.
Be warned, it's not an official release and hasn't been tested beyond a
'Hello World'! Also, the ldc branches of druntime and phobos are lagging
significantly behind the upstream branches.
The reason this package exists is that I had some hours left over and
decided to create packaging scripts for ldc2 in the hope of allowing the
current maintainers to make more frequent releases. If you sometimes want to
compile LLVM, LDC2, druntime and phobos from scratch without bothering about
the details, give this a try:
http://www.incasoftware.de/~kamm/ldc/ldc2-buildscripts.tbz2 .
(you need libconfig++, it's libconfig++8-dev in Ubuntu)
If there's something wrong with the package, please let me know. Bugs in LDC
should go to http://www.dsource.org/projects/ldc/newticket .
It seems that, unlike DMD, the search directories aren't configured
right by default. I get this on trying to build hello world after
extracting the tarball and nothing else:
object.d: Error: module object is in file 'object.d' which cannot be read
import path[0] = /usr/local/bin/../import
