I have successfully compiled and installed dmd, druntime and 
phobos and installed them all in
     /opt/dlang/dmd
     /opt/dlang/druntime
     /opt/dlang/phobos

Everything works, I can compile and run d programs just fine. I 
use this in my .bashrc to make everything work:

     export PATH="/opt/dlang/dmd/src:$PATH"
     export 
PATH="/opt/dlang/druntime/generated/linux/release/64:$PATH"
     export PATH="/opt/dlang/druntime/import/:$PATH"
     export 
PATH="/opt/dlang/phobos/generated/linux/release/64:$PATH"
     export 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/dlang/phobos/generated/linux/release/64
     dlang_compile="-fPIC -L-lphobos2 -I/opt/dlang/druntime/import 
-I/opt/dlang/phobos 
-L-L/opt/dlang/phobos/generated/linux/release/64"
     alias dmd="dmd $dlang_compile"

I installed dub and added the binary to my path. I can use dub 
init to create a new project, but when I run dub in a initiated 
project I get this message:
     Failed to invoke the compiler dmd to determine the build 
platform: Error: cannot find source code for runtime library file 
'object.d'
        dmd might not be correctly installed. Run 'dmd -man' for 
installation instructions.
        config file: (null)
     Specify path to file 'object.d' with -I switch

I have no idea what is is wrong and or how to fix it.

Any help?

It would be the alias.  When you're running dmd from your shell, 
you're using an alias that includes a bunch of flags to make dmd 
work.  When dub runs, it'll run the dmd executable directly, not 
your alias, and lose the flags.

You can get rid of the alias and use a dmd.conf instead.  Just 
make a file called "dmd.conf" in the same directory as your dmd 
executable, and put something like this in it:

[Environment32]
DFLAGS=<all your dmd flags for 32b code -- you might not need 
this>

[Environment64]
DFLAGS=<all your dmd flags for 64b code -- same as your current 
"dlang_compile">

Worked.

Thank you.
