I get an error message when trying to curl

Error output:

root@02x110:~/Desktop# gdc a.d -o a
a.d:2: Error: module curl is in file 'std/net/curl.d' which cannot be read
import path[0] = /usr/include/d2/4.6/i486-linux-gnu
import path[1] = /usr/include/d2/4.6

My Code:

import std.net.curl;
import std.stdio;

int main()
{
	string content = post("examplesite.org");
	
}

How can I solve this problem?

Sorry for my bad english.

This looks like you're using a very old gdc version. std.net.curl was added in 2.058.

How do I update? Searched, but could not find it. Because English is not enough.

gdc-4.8 is now available in Debian and a few other distros. You should be able to just update it if you use one of these distros; if not, try compiling from source (see the d.gnu forum, there's a recent thread that has explicit steps of how to get the build to work properly).

Hmm. gdc-4.8 *is* rather recent, so maybe it hasn't percolated down to
your distro yet. The first release of gdc-4.8 (AFAICT) was 03 Jun 2013
(4.8.1-1). The latest release is 4.8.1-6 (09 Jul 2013).

You could add the 'unstable' branch to /etc/apt/sources.list to pull it in, probably, i.e.:

	deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib

Not sure how it would interact with the rest of your distro though. It may be safer to try adding 'unstable' to your existing 'deb' line that points to your distro's FTP servers; they may have synced with the main Debian archive recently enough to have picked up gdc-4.8.

Alternatively, if it ends up being a mess, you could download the .deb's directly from the Debian FTP archive:

	http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-4.8/gdc-4.8_4.8.1-6_amd64.deb

Replace "amd64" with your architecture. The downside of this approach is that you'll have to hunt down all the dependencies manually, and there can be a lot of them for gdc.

It *could* actually be easier for you to build GDC yourself; for this, check the recent thread in the d.gnu forum for explicit instructions (make sure you follow each step carefully, as a broken GCC/GDC build can be a hair-tearing frustrating experience -- speaking from experience). If you run into trouble, ask on the forum there and we'll try to help you. :)
