Probably you did:
char[] text="Some text " ~ toString(number);

in class method, so compiler thought you want to refer to Object's
toString() method.

You should escape current scope of class with '.' (dot).
class Test {
        void method(int number) {
                char[] text="Some text " ~ .toString(number);
        }
}

Above code should work.
