I have a newly installed debian machine, and installed dmd_2.061-0_i386.deb with all the dependencies. When i launch the command # rdmd bug.d is ok, but then when i launch the command: # rdmd -unittest bug.d the output is: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurl collect2: ld returned 1 exit status --- errorlevel 1 The file bug.d is something like this: # cat bug.d import std.stdio; void main(string[] args) { ubyte[1] first; ubyte[1] second; writeln( "Fatto!" ); // Lets the user press <Return> before program stops stdin.rawRead( first ); } so i don't know why it searches for libcurl. I tried to install it anyway with # apt-get install libcurl3 but then it popups the same error. When i run # dmd -unittest bug.d it compile without errors and creates the right executable, i tried to run it and is fine, so i think the problem is in rdmd that try to link a library that is unnecessary and it searches it on the wrong path. I checked that libcurl.so is present in the /usr/lib directory, so ld must find it. On another amd64 machine with dmd_2.061-0_amd64.deb installed i tried the rdmd command with the unittest option and it shows the same error. If there is a need for more info, just ask. TIA
