I am just getting started with vibe.d, but I was not able to get to a "hello world" stage on either Fedora or ubuntu. I posted the stdout below. Please help me get started.

Looks like the C/C++ build tools are not installed. Try to install the "gcc" and "g++" packages to see if that fixes the error. The .deb package of DMD should make sure that these are installed. So if you used the .tar.xz archive, I'd recommend to instead use that. If you already used it, this sounds like a bug in the package dependency list.

This one looks like there might be a problem (maybe a mismatch between the library and the compiler) with the compiler installation. Which version of LDC2 are you using and how did the installation process look like?
