I'm using Linux, which supports unix domain sockets, but when I try to use UnixAddress it's not available.

Anyone know why?

import std.socket;

int main()
{
    Address UnixAddr = new UnixAddress( "path" ); // <- compile error
    return(0);
}

Error: undefined identifier UnixAddress

--rt

Looks like socket.d is missing this:

import core.sys.posix.sys.un;

I need this working asap, what's the best way to patch? Just add in the import?

I solved the problem by creating my own version of UnixAddress. The existing implementation needs some work. I'll filed a bug report.
