Hi, thank you for opening this issue.

Intuitively, the problem is that an indirect dependency (funty) of crate ibc-relayer-cli had a minor-version update recently, which is causing build errors in release v0.1.0. We have solved this problem, but did not release a new version since then.

The simplest way to mitigate this would be to build Hermes from source -- as documented in here, but ignore the following step:

git checkout v0.1.0

Instead, no need to check-out any specific release (just use master, the default version that is checked-out when you clone the repo).

Okay, thanks! On master is compiling without any error.

Great!

We will update the documentation shortly to mention this problem & workaround explicitly.
