nim-lang.org v0.9.0 fails activation

Under the "Runtime Status" tab of the extension I see the following errors:

Uncaught Errors (9)

How can I get more debug info to help diagnose this?

Note: the nimsaem extension works just fine on the same computer (when installed separately; I did not have both extensions installed at the same time)

In the "Output" window (Ctrl+K Ctrl+H), select from the drop down in the upper right corner "Nim" and "Nim Language Server". If there is no "Nim Language Server" tab, that could mean that nimlangserver is not found in the PATH.

Turns out this was due to nimlangserver missing a dependency on my system:

%> nimlangserver 
could not load: libpcre.so(.3|.1|)
(compile with -d:nimDebugDlOpen for more information)

This sounds like an issue for nimlangserver ... it should probably check that libpcre is installed on the system during installation.

Closing since the issue lies with nimlangserver.
