Just add -L-L/usr/local/include to your dmd.conf. LDC also doesn&#39;t look there by default, and I see little reason to change this.<br>

Just to clarify: For LDC, -L-L$PREFIX/include/d _is_ included in the default configuration file, but the compiler doesn&#39;t automatically add the path internally.<br>
<br>
The reason for this is simple: In some situations, you do _not_ want your compiler to go looking in some hard-coded directory, so we would have to add an extra switch to disable that behavior. And with two versions of D being around, and $PREFIX often being what a D1/Tango installation defaults to as well, those situations aren&#39;t as uncommon as one might think at first.</blockquote>
