The phobos path displays as usr/local/src/phobos (I navigated to /usr/local/src/phobos through the gui to select it).  I see the std subdirectory and algorithm.d inside of it.  I don't know what is going wrong with finding the import.

I think D2 support is weak in Descent; so that's likely the problem.
