in case ./install.sh
is executed with /usr/bin
or /usr/local/bin
, library files end up in /usr/lib/nim
and /usr/local/lib/nim
respectively but the nim compiler looks for them in /usr/lib/nim/lib
and /usr/local/lib/nim/lib
respectively which results in the issue reported above.
I currently work around it like so: cd /nim-2.1.1 && ./install.sh /usr/bin && ln -s /usr/lib/nim /usr/lib/nim/lib
.
Description
choosenim doesn't not support Odroid N2_ SBC (arch: ARM 64) debian apt package is ancient at 1.0.xx
so, build v2.0.2 following instructions on https://nim-lang.org/install_unix.html
assumed that install.sh in nim folder would install him pieces in correct places... sh intall.sh /usr/bin
appears to install correctly but I get the following error when attempting to compile:
dietpi@DietPi:~$ nim c -d:ssl ./downloadAndParse.nim Error: cannot open '/usr/lib/nim/lib/system.nim'
Note extra lib in path... if I can find where it's pulling the path from, it I can probably fix it... however, the install.sh script doesn't seem to be the issue... where is this path being pulled from?
