Walter, have you looked into his source. What he did was:

--------- BEGIN ----------
import std.socket;

class FoobarAddress : Address
{

}

void main()
{

}
---------- END ---------

compile this with dmd -m32 main.d and you'll see exactly the same errors
that he posted. Even tough dmd's error message are a little bit
confusing in this case, the problem should be clear.
