Yeah I bought the book recently and ran into an issue very quickly into it. But this error I keep getting keeps bugging me. Could really use an explanation on why its not compiling. Here is the code.
Mark I started a thread along this line of reasoning. In my case it was the other way around. I made sure I downloaded D2 but found a code snippet for D1 (I think). I'm starting to realize this is probably an issue with free examples, tutorials, etc. The code isn't posted with comments or context as how it will compile. If I ever start offering my code on the web I'm going to put in the first comment line of the source code what context it compiled and ran under. e.g. DMD v2.058/Phobos/Win32/etc. Then if some newbie slacker like us is looking at the code 2 years from now, he will have some idea of whether he should try it. And if it doesn't compile, he can say "well that example was v2.058/Win32 and this is V4.01/Linux64 that I am running." ....and not get frustrated.
