Probably a Debian packaging issue. I assume you installed Nim via a debian package? (apt-get?)

ghost · 2015-12-29T03:28:56Z

Hi, nope I have installed Nim through the website's package (nim-0.12.0.tar.xz), run build.sh and everything works, but the problem is with nimble, when I try to install it, I get the error above.
I've tried with Nim installed from the master branch and I get this error instead.

dom96 · 2015-12-29T12:14:55Z

Oh, sorry. To install the latest Nimble you will need Nim devel. For Nim 0.12.0 you should grab Nimble 0.6.2, you can just git checkout v0.6.2 to do that (or download it here https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/archive/v0.6.2.tar.gz)

That being said, it is odd that the Nim compiler cannot find its compiler sources when the .tar.xz package contains them.

ghost · 2015-12-29T14:31:02Z

Thanks for your reply, now I've downloaded the v0.6.2 and when I try to compile it with Nim 0.12.0 I get this error.

dom96 · 2015-12-29T15:39:32Z

Sorry, that really sucks. v0.6.2 is broken with 0.12.0 it seems. At this point I would just grab the devel Nim compiler if I were you. You're better off using devel anyway.

Alternatively you can try grabbing this commit of Nimble, but I cannot guarantee that it will work: ffbd5f5

ghost · 2015-12-29T15:52:08Z

This time with ffbd5f5 it was compiled without problems, anyway I think than I will follow your suggestion to use Nim devel instead. Thanks again ^^

Same issue when compiling Nimble 0.7.0 with Nim 0.12.0 on Arch Linux.

nimblepkg/nimscriptsupport.nim(8, 11) Error: cannot open 'compiler/ast'

dom96 · 2015-12-31T16:55:07Z

You need Nim 0.12.1

xyproto · 2015-12-31T18:14:25Z

But, 0.12.1 hasn't been released yet. I'm packaging both nim and nimble for Arch Linux. We only package release versions.

dom96 · 2015-12-31T18:15:43Z

Sorry, you're going to need to wait for Nim 0.12.2 (or 0.13.0) to be released.

xyproto · 2015-12-31T18:16:33Z

Ok, thanks.

DoooReyn · 2016-01-08T15:08:17Z

I got this error with Nim 0.12.1, too.
Hope for next version to solve it.

Nim Compiler Version 0.12.1 (2016-01-08) [MacOSX: amd64]

dom96 · 2016-01-08T15:33:53Z

@DoooReyn With Nim 0.12.1 it should work. How did you install Nim 0.12.1?

DoooReyn · 2016-01-08T15:58:00Z

@dom96 Sorry for that. I try sh deinstall.sh to avoid using koch and reinstall by using nim e install_nimble.nims, now nimble works.

xyproto · 2016-01-08T21:40:51Z

As an apropos, Rust and the Rust package manager Cargo are released in lockstep to avoid conflicting versions.

dom96 · 2016-01-18T12:29:37Z

@xyproto were they also in lockstep before Rust 1.0 was released?

xyproto · 2016-01-18T13:08:08Z

Yes.

Cargo is now included in the Rust release binary, even though it is a separate project.

Cargo and Rust has been released together also before version 1.0. Look at version 0.12, for instance.

kamilchm · 2016-01-20T23:46:01Z

Same error with Nim 0.13.0 and Nimble 0.7.0 :(
It could save time for many people if this will be noted in compiling instructions ...
I tried to build Nimble package for NixOS without success after few hours :/

dom96 · 2016-01-21T07:36:24Z

@kamilchm This simply shouldn't happen anymore. Did you follow instructions in the readme precisely?

kamilchm · 2016-01-21T08:55:51Z

It may be only NixOS issue cause its pure nature. I tried to rewrite your instruction to nix expression and I think I got it all kamilchm/nixpkgs@c40cbf5
Is something missing there?

dom96 · 2016-01-21T09:02:25Z

It could be the fact that you are creating a symlink. It's possible that Nim does not follow symlinks, if that is the case then this is a Nim bug.

kamilchm · 2016-01-21T09:08:44Z

Changed to cp and got same error :/

dom96 · 2016-01-21T12:28:41Z

oh, I think I know the problem then. You're checking out the 0.7.0 tag of Nimble, my fix for vendor/nim is in HEAD.

kamilchm · 2016-01-21T12:43:33Z

Works on HEAD. Thx!
It may be worth to release 0.7.1?

cjhanks · 2016-01-23T18:21:56Z

I am still experiencing this issue:

Is there anything apparently wrong with my versions?

dom96 · 2016-01-23T18:25:57Z

Make sure you have HEAD of Nimble and are using the new installation
instructions in Nimble's readme.

It seems like I should release 0.7.2...
