Could not compile syntex_syntax

[mike-hewitson]

Am trying to build racer, got the message above. I have absolutely no clue how to resolve this, some pointers would be really appreciated.

Using a fresh rust 1.2 compiler, on Ubuntu 14.04, messages as follows:

Hi Mike. Is this with racer 1.0 or with git master?

H Phil

cloned git repo

Oddly enough, i repeated the process on a VM on my work laptop, and it worked.

I had the same problem. I am on mac and installed rust via brew install rust so I did a brew update ; brew upgrade rust. Then the cargo build --release completed without error after a few minutes.

It is day one with rust for me so I have no insight on why.

[dirkraft]

But then I had to brew switch rust 1.1.0 backwards because bad cargo is in the homebrew rust 1.2.0 package: Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#42992

[mike-hewitson]

I will try an update of rust tonight as well as another version and provide feedback.

The problem is resolved. Re-downloaded everything and rebuilt and its all working fine.
