Move your ~/.nimble to ~/.nimble_backup and try again, it's likely corrupted somehow.

[Iancurtis]

HI @dom96 , I moved the ~/.nimble and recompiled nimble ,then updated it ,but still got the same error

nimble version
nimble v0.6.0 compiled at 2015-05-20 01:03:03
nim version
im Compiler Version 0.11.2 (2015-05-18) [MacOSX: amd64]

[dom96]

That's really strange. Can you install other packages?

[Iancurtis]

I tried to install several packages, and got the same error again and again :(

[dom96]

Which version of Nim are you using? If devel then try updating and
recompiling.

Try removing ~./nimble once again. I think you may have been caught out by a regression in JSON.

[Iancurtis]

done. thx @dom96 👍

[dom96]

Cool. It works now?

[Iancurtis]

yes :D but got another issue
