  So, I'm trying to install nimble via ./koch and I'm getting the following error.

  Ubuntu 20.04

  
  In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/include/syslimits.h:7,
                   from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/include/limits.h:34,
                   from /home/bruno/Downloads/nim-1.4.6/lib/nimbase.h:264,
                   from /root/.cache/nim/niminst_d/stdlib_assertions.nim.c:11:
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/include/limits.h:194:15: fatal error: limits.h: No such file or directory

        |               ^~~~~~~~~~

  Run

  Any suggestions to solve this?

  Thanks in advance!

  Does installing the right header files solve your problem? https://askubuntu.com/a/1120102

  Oddly enough, the lib is already in my machine and this happens when I install nim through download. If I install via apt install nim there is no such problem. But I wanted the last version of Nim. On the apt repository the version is 1.0.6-1

  So, apparently, there was a problem with my linux installation, it was a Dell oem installation.
