I am experiencing compiler problem when trying to run vibe.d on linux. I solved it but
it needs to be fixed in dub or compiler itself.

I tried DMD on Windows first and it was working fine.
But on Linux, i tried to install DMD and LDC on Debian,Ubuntu and Arch Linux.
I am first installing dmd or ldc from official repository. Then i'm installing dub.
On Debian i'm adding adviced additional repo for dub.
I am using "dub init myproject -t vibe.d" then trying to run with dub command. It always giving error after the message Linking... .

The solution is to install libevent-devel and libssl-devel to make it work on Debian and -dev on Arch.

Everything you have said shows dub and dmd as operating correctly.

If you have a question about this, it would be more appropriate in D.learn.

This is how it was implemented so I don't think there is an issue anywhere.

However it would be nice if you could add custom linker error messages stating that you need to do XYZ to compile it properly.

i just saw that :D, but i think most of the people tried it and changed their mind after seeing error.

FWIW there's a discussion of such a enhancements (and more) at the DUB issue tracker:
