I had tried to install the bin tarball of 1.2.2 but couldn't, because I got the error: 'nim-gdb missing'. The 1.2.0 tar ball worked though.

Hoeever I am asking this her beacuse it was recommended to to install 1.2.2 instead of 1.2.0...

What method are you using to install? And which OS?

halloleo (orginal) [2020-06-22T02:45:32+02:00] view original
Sorry for the lack of detail:
- OS is RHEL7
- Install process:
  Tar ball downloaded from https://nim-lang.org/download/nim-1.2.2-linux_x64.tar.xz.
  
  Unpacked it.
  
  Ran install.sh with directory /data/opt.

Thanks @shashlick. Yep. The GH issue looks like the same problem.

So, this means I cannot install 1.2.2 from the normal tar ball, right?

Therefore I'm back to square one: tar ball 1.2.0. installs, but gives me a compile error in the subsequent C compiler chain.

You can use -d:nimEmulateOverflowChecks for 1.2.0

Ups, sorry @araq! Totally forgot! You did mentioned this in your first reply. I'll try it.

We have just released Nim 1.2.4 — it is a hotfix release which deals with the nim-gdb problem mentioned in this thread.

Just wanted to report back here: -d:nimEmulateOverflowChecks solved the issue. :-)

In any case next week I will do more with nim. (But I guess I'll install 1.2.4 first!)

@miran Thanks for the info. Will install it next week.
