When I try to compile a unittest on the following:

import std.stdio;
class A {
   int x = 42;
}

unittest {
   auto a1 = new A;
   assert (a1.x == 42);
   auto a2 = a1;
   a2.x = 100;
   assert (a1.x == 100);
}

I get the following:

patrick patrick-desktop:~/d$ rdmd --main -unittest c.d
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1
patrick patrick-desktop:~/d$


I assume that I am missing something. But what?

That's a linker error telling you that the linker can't find libcurl, which 
means that you haven't installed curl or that it's not installed somewhere 
where the linker looks. Given that curl is something that should normally be 
installed on a Linux box and would be installed by the system's package 
manager, my guess is that you don't have curl installed - or that if you do, 
you don't have the devel package installed (if your distro has separate devel 
packages).

That fixed it. Thank you so much! (And apologies for posting in 
the wrong thread earlier)
