Hi, you should provide more info: what error messages you got?

Also try sudo apt-get build-essentials

Pity that canonical did not include the nim package in Ubuntu 22. If it can be of help, you can pull the package from Debian.

It was Fedora, and then Ubuntu. How long do we have before it gets removed from all major distros?

Will there be a day we can no longer install Nim via a package manager?

I understand your worry! Hopefully OpenSSL 3 will be supported in 1.6.10 and 2.0
