`nimble install nimcl` fails

[genotrance]

Just tried installing arraymancer which tried to install this package. Doesn't work with Nim @ #head.

Having this issue as well. I'm on a 32-bit OS if that matters at all.

@davidgarland Can you post what issue you have? stmt was removed long ago - in fact I forgot to just close this issue

Tried on my 64-bit linux desktop and got this:

Nim is updated to latest using choosenim.

@andreaferretti I guess the problem is here. (11, 37)

Nimble takes the old version (0.1.2).

nimble install nimcl@#head solves the problem

[andreaferretti]

Let me just bump the version and put a new tag. This should be enough to make the problem go away

@andreaferretti Thanks! It works for me now.
