Problem running it on Linux Mint - Error: implementation of 'ptr' expected on system.nim

[bonezinger]

I'm trying to get nimedit to run on my Linux Mint, but I've been running on a series of problems. I downloaded the Linux version from here: https://nim-lang.org/nimedit/downloads.html
The first was that the executable could not load libSDL2.so. Creating a symlink solved this problem (unrelated to nimedit, but it was the same error)

After that, attempting to run it gave the error
Error: cannot open '$HOME/.nimble/lib/system.nim'

Looking for that file, I found it both under $HOME/.choosenim/toolchains/nim-1.4.8/lib/ and /usr/lib/nim/

Next, I've created the nimlib.cfg file suggested in the Download page. My file has this single line: /usr/lib/nim/

Now, whenver I try to run nimedit, it gives me the following error
usr/lib/nim/system.nim(42, 3) Error: implementation of 'ptr' expected

I could not find anything similar on different projects, so now I'm stuck. The error also happens if I use the /.choosenim folder. What should I do to fix this problem?

Sorry, at this point nimedit is not supported. Maybe I'll revive it, maybe I won't. Use VSCode instead.
