Found the problem. The libclang package is looking for

Do you have the development package (probably something like
libclang-3.9-dev) installed ? Usually they are the ones
containing the correct symlink (see

Yeah, I didn't need the symlink on a different machine with
Ubuntu 18.04. After some digging around, I found that I had
libclang1-3.9, libclang-dev, and libclang-common-3.9-dev
installed. libclang1-3.9 installs libclang.so.1. The one I was
missing was libclang-3.9-dev.
It's confusing and I think this could be handled better by the
distro. But this is also one of the reasons I'm not a fan of dub.
The user is left to sort through these dependencies themselves,
and that means it's really not suitable for packages that link to
C code (which is most of what I do). One of the main selling
points of D is its C interoperability, but a lot of new users
would walk away rather than trying to figure this out, concluding
that D is buggy.
