nimble error #181

Closed GaudiestTooth17 closed 3 years ago

GaudiestTooth17 commented 3 years ago

When I run the command nimble install nimpy I get the following output: Downloading https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy using git Info Hint: used config file '/etc/nim.cfg' [Conf] Tip: 1 messages have been suppressed, use --verbose to show them. Error: Could not read package info file in /tmp/nimble_9965/githubcom_yglukhovnimpy/nimpy.nimble; ... Reading as ini file failed with: ... Invalid section: . ... Evaluating as NimScript file failed with: ... usr/lib/nim/pure/times.nim(79, 9) Error: cannot 'importc' variable at compile time.

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.

What's you nim and nimble version?

GaudiestTooth17 commented 3 years ago

nim version is 0.17.2 and nimble version 0.8.8

yglukhov commented 3 years ago

A version that old is not really expected to work. Please try something more recent. Latest LTS version is 1.2.* iirc.

This probably isn't the right place to ask this, but when I try updating nimble with nimble install nimble I get this error: Downloading https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble using git Verifying dependencies for nimble@0.12.0 Installing nimble@0.12.0 Building nimble/nimble using c backend Prompt: Build failed for 'nimble@0.12.0', would you like to try installing 'nimble@#head' (latest unstable)? [y/N] Answer: n Tip: 2 messages have been suppressed, use --verbose to show them. Error: Aborting installation due to build failure I've even tried installing the the latest unstable version, but it also won't build. I'm brand new to nim, so I'm still getting things figured out. Your help is really appreciated!

I'd suggest removing nim and nimble altogether through apt if that's how you installed it in the first place. And then use choosenim.

That fixed my problems! Thank you again so much.
