Seems to be fixed by editing dmd.conf (added -L-L/usr/local/lib)

[Environment]

DFLAGS=-I/Library/D/dmd/src/phobos -I/Library/D/dmd/src/druntime/import -L-L/Library/D/dmd/lib -L-L/usr/local/lib

Have a question though:
Why is it -L-L/usr/local/lib
and not -L/usr/local/lib ?

DMD uses different linkers depending on the platform. For the compiler, -L means 'pass this command to the linker.' In this case, that just also happens to be -L, which is understood by ld (the system linker) as the flag to set the library path. If you were using the Microsoft linker on Windows, it would be -L/LIBPATH:dir. If you were manually linking with libevent on Mac or Linux, you would pass -L-levent, and so on.
