I am on Ubuntu 16.04. I was looking at Getting Started with DUB:

I did the "dub init myproject" and it worked fine. Then I added dependency:
' dependency "dub" version="~>1.3.0" '
as shown in the next step. This got an error:

I am wondering if the tutorial should caution that "you need to have lib
curl already on your system", or if I have a bad DUB install (lib curl
should have been installed with DUB).
Few things, the example of using dub as a dependency is just an example.
You don't need to add it.
The reason you're getting that error isn't a major problem. Basically
the import libraries are not installed, curl is (I would expect), just
not the files that allow linking it in.
They are usually in packages *-dev.
