I'm using Linux Mint, it's much more stable than Ubuntu (which 
started to completely collapse on me for just looking the wrong 
way at it), but unfortunately some packages are outdated, 
especially the D compilers.

Okay, I installed the "curl" versions, how do I edit the 
activating shell scripts of DMD and LDC that they'd work as if 
they were installed "normally"? I don't have the time, not the 
capacity to test my libraries with multiple different compiler 
versions, and document any oddities between them (and I almost 
never need it thanks to D).

For Mint, I'd use the .deb and let it handle that stuff. For LDC, 
I have a bash alias for ldmd2 that points to the ldmd2 binary. Of 
course there are multiple ways to handle this, but I don't 
understand the point of the install script, since it leaves you 
without a working installation.

Okay, does someone know how to set up the path for LDC on Linux, 
without the bash alias?
