Sure. I guess the somewhat unexpected thing was that the grammars were generated in `HELIX_RUNTIME` when running `cargo install --path helix-term`, and so the env var (minimally) impacts _building_ helix...

👍 Mind if I take a stab at clarifying this a bit more in the README and [docs](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/book/src/install.md#build-from-source)?

I believe so. I just need someone with the appropriate privileges to review and merge.

Excellent catch! And I think your assessment of the problem is spot-on - there is a generator that depends on that cursor being open and it throws the reported error...

Just to give an update (apologies for the delay). I have a fix for this, but would like to do a bit more testing. Hopefully I'll have a PR ready...

I think the answer is "not really". But #2240 may be helpful to you.

In case it helps, I'm experiencing the exact same thing with the same specifications, except I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.

Any updates on this? This would be super handy.
