I am getting the same error using the stable version on popOS installed through ‘apt’. I am going to try the nightly version so see if that matters.

Turns out of the version of neovim through apt was 0.6*. I manually downloaded neovim and installed it and everything is working great now

Error executing lua callback: .../start/nvim-treesitter/lua/nvim-treesitter/highlight.lua:26: attempt to call field 'start' (a nil value) stack traceback: .../start/nvim-treesitter/lua/nvim-treesitter/highlight.lua:26: in function 'attach' ...er/start/nvim-treesitter/lua/nvim-treesitter/configs.lua:505: in function 'attach_module' ...er/start/nvim-treesitter/lua/nvim-treesitter/configs.lua:528: in function 'reattach_module' ...er/start/nvim-treesitter/lua/nvim-treesitter/configs.lua:131: in function <...er/start/nvim-treesitter/lua/nvim-treesitter/configs.lua:130>

I was able to solve this by updating nvim via brew upgrade nvim

I get this error in Fedora 37 (KDE):

nvim-treesitter[lua]: Error during compilation
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Press ENTER or type command to continue

Also having issue as the author above. Fedora 37 Gnome, neovim v.0.8.1

[Slate245]

@t3kg33k I've fixed this issue by installing C++ development packages

sudo dnf install libstdc++-static gcc-c++

[t3kg33k]

Yep, that worked. Also, git install was also required.

[trev-dev]

I had this problem while installing on Windows at one point and it was do to the fact I had git's core.autoclrf set incorrectly. Try setting it to true with git config --global core.autoclrf true.

You're trying to build the config with invalid line returns.

Ok -- there's a completely new setup workflow now with lazy.nvim. I'm going to close this issue now, but if you try with the latest version and it doesn't work, please create an issue. Thanks!
