Hi @danydoerr :)

When compiling with

cargo --version
cargo 1.76.0 (c84b36747 2024-01-18)

I get the following error:

Any ideas? THanks!

It seems that rustc-serialize is broken.

I am aware of this, and already implemented a fix. But it will take a couple of weeks until I push another release.

Understandable! Dirty quick fix: Delete Cargo.lock. Rebuilding and then it worked for me.

Fantastic! Thanks. In the updated version, there won't be any dependency to rustc-serialize
