Seems cannot run nim c -r src/nimble install to install nimble self. I had fixed with those steps:

nim c src/nimble
src/nimble update
src/nimble install nimble

I have a similar issue in Ubuntu 15.04 with GCC 4.9.2/nim 0.11.2. I can confirm that the posted workaround works for me.

Same issue on Ubuntu 14.04. The suggested fix works.

Same issue for Ubuntu 15.10 x64, the fix did not work for me.

Can you try with 0.12.0?

krux02 commented 8 years ago

I have a very different error on Debian, but basically the problem is the same, can't compile:

Warning: src/nimble.nimrod.cfg is deprecated [Deprecated]
Hint: system [Processing]
Error: cannot open '/servers/krag/hdd-home3/doering/lib/system.nim'

that's all output my version of nim is a self built source package from the nim website:

dom96 commented 8 years ago

@krux02 can you compile other Nim source code files?

krux02 commented 8 years ago

@dom96 I haven't tried it, because I needed nimble to complie my source files. At the moment I am at another computer, I guess I can test it tomorrow again.

dom96 commented 8 years ago

After re-reading the different messages it seems that everybody is having slightly different issues with the installation of Nim.

@cpunion's issue I cannot reproduce. Running nim c -r src/nimble install works on my machine (Mac OS X).

@christetreault's (and @honewatson's too?) issue is odd. I would need to know more about what is inside /home/chris/bin/Nim/ I think.

@blakev's seems like a completely different issue too. Same with @krux02's.

I'm going to give you guys a chance to give me some more feedback. But if I do not reproduce this issue eventually I will have to close this issue.

christetreault commented 8 years ago

~/bin/Nim contains all the stuff that you get when you build Nim from source. If you think it'd be particularly helpful to pick through it, I can zip it up and put it online somewhere. I'd need some time to sort through it and make sure there's no PII in there or anything.

For me, the main takeaway from my post is that the workaround given by OP works for this issue as well.

dom96 commented 8 years ago

@christetreault Hrm. That makes sense. I assume you then cloned nimble into the same directory right?

/usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file /home/chris/bin/Nim/nimble/nimble: Is a directory

The error seems to suggest that /home/chris/bin/Nim/nimble has a nimble directory. Is that the case? If so, what's in it and how was it created?

Sure: https://gist.github.com/christetreault/76f5923602c85ecfaf7f

dom96 commented 8 years ago

@christetreault Yeah, the problem is that you have a nimble directory inside nimble (https://gist.github.com/christetreault/76f5923602c85ecfaf7f#file-tree-bin-nim-L3669)

Seems the old compiler can't compile newer code. At the first post of this threads, my Nim compiler's version is 0.11.2, and it's 0.11.3 now. I haven't used Nim for months. (sorry)

@cpunion What are you running to compile/install Nimble?

cpunion commented 8 years ago

@dom96 I run nim c -r src/nimble install in nimble source root directory.

cpunion commented 8 years ago

@dom96 Full commands and ouputs was too long, I pasted at https://gist.github.com/cpunion/37f02cdcc1f27cae1e65

dom96 commented 8 years ago

@cpunion Are you compiling latest Nimble? Did you remember to git pull?

dom96 commented 8 years ago

~~The issue is that you need Nim 0.12.1 to compile latest Nimble. But Nimble should tell you that! So i'm not sure what's happening (Unless you don't quite have the latest Nimble)~~

Edit: Oh. Right. You're compiling Nimble first with Nim, of course. That makes sense. Well, you need 0.12.1 Nim anyway.

cpunion commented 8 years ago

@dom96 Sure.

christetreault commented 8 years ago

@dom96 Sounds reasonable, thanks for looking into it. My plate's pretty full, so I'm not really super concerned about resolving this right now. Just wanted to submit feedback somewhere.

I got a error on lib/system.nim too:

And there's not even a lib/ directory here:

Update:

and it's funny I fixed the error by adding a soft link:

=>> ln -s vendor/nim/lib lib

@jiyinyiyong how did you install Nim?

@jiyinyiyong looks like this is your issue: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/issues/203

dom96 commented 7 years ago

I'm hoping that the recent improvements Nimble's installation and the fact that it's bundled with Nim have now resolved these issues. Let me know if you still cannot compile/install Nimble.

nim-lang / nimble
