This is causing error while nimble install nimlsp

nimlsp/src/nimlsppkg/suggestlib.nim

Line 3 in 5281e79

const explicitSourcePath {.strdefine.} = getCurrentCompilerExe().parentDir.parentDir

This line is causing error. It is trying to find /usr/nimsuggest/nimsuggest.nim which is of course not present. Any insights as to how to solve this. I am on Ubuntu.

acquire nim sources and nimble install -p:-d:explicitSourcePath:$path_to_nim nimlsp

NimLSP has no way to know where your Nim sources are. So it tries to guess based on the position of the nim binary. If you install via choosenim or by manually building the repo this will be correct. But if you install via your package manager it won't be (some package managers doesn't even include these files). Seeing how the Ubuntu Nim package has notoriously been out of date I would suggest installing choosenim instead and getting Nim via that, which would also solve this issue. Otherwise what @SolitudeSF suggested will also work.

yes. I found this error. Fixed it via choosenim. Thanks. Unnecessary issue. Sorry for your time!
