Topic: lean3 throwing exception on Ubuntu 20.04


Morten Brodersen (Jun 20 2021 at 10:11):

I have installed elan and lean3 (stable 3.30.0) on Ubuntu 20.04. Running the following command:


lean -run src/misc/hello-world.lean


on this file (hello-world.lean):


import system.io

open io

def main : io unit := do
return ()


results in this error message:


terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_construct null not valid


which seems to be a C++ exception.

Any help would be very much appreciated :-)

My bad. It was a configuration problem. It works now.
