Ripgrep: cargo install ripgrep is failing

[justbur]

Here's the output. I'm not familiar with rust, but I'm happy to provide additional information.

It looks like one of ripgrep's dependencies increased the minimum Rust version and didn't do a semver version bump.

This is still strange though. ripgrep 0.3.2 has bytecount 0.1.4 in its Cargo.lock, which I think should cause cargo install ripgrep to use bytecount 0.1.4. Instead, it seems to be picking up bytecount 0.1.5 but I'm not sure why.

@justbur You have a few work-arounds available to you:

1. Upgrade your version of Rust. I'm assuming you're using a version older than 1.11.0 (you can check by running rustc --version) and try cargo install ripgrep again.
2. Download a binary release.

[llogiq]

Sorry, my fault. Will fix shortly.

[justbur]

@BurntSushi makes sense to me.

I'm on Ubuntu 16.10 currently, using rust from the repos. My rustc is version 1.10.0, so yes you're right. Just tested the binary and it works fine. I'm not that interested in maintaining a different version of rust at the moment.

I was just reporting because I felt like I had a pretty common setup and the instructions on the README failed for me.

Thanks for the help

[llogiq]

@justbur, again, my apologies. I'll try to fix as soon as possible (but had too little time for my last attempt). It's literally a one-line fix.

[BurntSushi]

FWIW, I think this is strange behavior from Cargo. I don't think it should be using bytecount 0.1.5 when the lockfile says 0.1.4.

[alexcrichton]

@BurntSushi ah yes I think this is a bug in Cargo where cargo install doesn't respect lock files: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/2263

[justbur]

ok, I just tried again, and I got past the initial error but ran into another one. Here's the output

[justbur]

Actually that looks like it might be due to having an older version of the std library.

[BurntSushi]

ripgrep 0.3 requires Rust 1.11 or newer unfortunately. You can try installing an older version of ripgrep:

cargo install --vers 0.2.9 ripgrep

[justbur]

@BurntSushi That explains it. Thanks. Maybe you could add a note to that effect next to the cargo install ripgrep line in the readme?

[BurntSushi]

@justbur Yeah. I think the minimum version is elsewhere in the README but it would definitely make sense to also put it with the cargo install step! :-)
