           Summary: libcurl linking issues on linux
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Windows

I installed fresh Fedora 22, than dmd-2.068 from the download page for Fedora.

When building for example dub, there is a problem with libcurl linking.

I have libcurl-devel installed, but noticed that there is just:
/lib64/libcurl.so.4 -> libcurl.so.4.3.0
/lib64/libcurl.so.4.3.0

So I fixed it with:

ln -s libcurl.so.4 libcurl.so

This is definitelly not a great user experience for newcomers.
Fedora package should depend on the libcurl-devel if its needed and linking
should be handled to work out of the box ideally.

Similar problem discussed here for Ubuntu:
