I copied the program that I'm trying to compile to /usr/local/include/d and tried to recompile it. This time It returned a number of 'undefined reference' errors. For example:

I created a new directory containing the example program and a dsss config file. The config file contained the line that you gave me. When I executed dsss build, the compiler threw a number of undefined reference errors. I'm pretty sure that the program needs to be linked against a library to compile. Unfortunately I don't names or locations of these libraries.
