DMD does not accept -lcurl. From dmd --help:
  -Llinkerflag   pass linkerflag to link
ergo
  dmd -L-lcurl app.d

on my machine (64Bit linux mint 17.2 with libcurl4-openssl-dev 
installed) -L-lcurl reduces the number of linker errors but the 
example still fails. I run
dmd -c app.d
dmd -L-lcurl app.o -v

and figured out that the linker is invoked (on my machine) with
  gcc a.o -o a -m64 -lcurl -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -Xlinker 
--export-dynamic -l:libphobos2.a -lpthread -lm -lrt
If I change the order of the libraries (move -lcurl to the end), 
it links. Used commands:
dmd -c app.d
gcc app.o -o app -m64  -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -Xlinker 
--export-dynamic -l:libphobos2.a -lpthread -lm -lrt -lcurl
(the later may be different on OpenSUSE (?) - better check with 
dmd -v ...)
