I have encountered the same problem, see message below. In my base the directory referred to does NOT exist. The requested binary DOES exist-->in a different directory.

I renamed my top level home drive ( as in the actual drive at ~ on maces), but somewhere the nim toolchain preserved the path below. No doubt in one of the dozens of nimcfg files all over my hard disk. How would I figure out how to get rid of this reference to non-existent path?

Closing as not sure it's the right repo and probably not doing the right thing.
