Hi!
Today I downloaded and installed the latest version of Nimrod Compiler (version 0.9.2) and followed the instructions given on the download page (http://nimrod-code.org/download.html). I am using Mac OS X 10.8.4 on mid-2011 Apple iMac. The installation process went smoothly without any errors or warnings. However, when I try something like: nimrod compile --run /full/path/to/file/test.nim in console, I am given the following error message: Hint: system [Processing] and Error: cannot open '/usr/lib/nimrod/system.nim'. I have also tried uninstalling and renstalling with homebrew: brew install nimrod, but that did not work. After a quick Google-search I found out that I am not the only one suffering the same issue, but I could not find any information about how I could fix it. Nimrod looks very interesting language and I am eager to get my hands into it!

The underlying issue is that 0.9.2 on OS X does not properly follow symbolic links. You can avoid this by using a shell script in lieu of a symbolic link, e.g.
#!/bin/sh
exec /path/to/unzipped/nimrod/bin/nimrod "$@"
You can also use Homebrew with a modified nimrod.rb file to accomplish the same, e.g.:
brew install https://gist.github.com/rbehrends/6140600/raw/nimrod.rb
(As always, you may want to inspect the .rb file before running it via brew install.)
