ch2-mandelbrot: could not compile num-bigint (lib) due to 4 previous errors

Hello there, I just want to run mandelbrot code but after I did cargo run I get this output:

   Compiling num-bigint v0.3.0

error: could not compile `num-bigint` (lib) due to 4 previous errors

I don't understand which line of my code provides this error 🤷‍♂️

I use RustRover from JetBrains and attach Cargo.toml:

[package]
name = "ch2-mandelbrot"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Tim McNamara <[email protected]>"]
edition = "2018"

[dependencies]
num = "0.3"

Everything I did before are:

1. cargo install cargo-edit
2. cargo add num
3. cargo run

[ruokeqx]

solved by command like below

cargo update
cargo run

[honsour72]

Resolved, thx, @ruokeqx

[jamiebill]

Updating cargo and re-running worked for me too! Thanks, @ruokeqx

Ran into the same issue... It seems strange to me that this could happen at all, isn't Cargo supposed to ensure proper versions and point releases shouldn't introduce breaking changes?

[alexkingnz]

I encountered the same issue.

It seemed like there was a bug in num_bigint? cargo update resulted in Updating num-bigint v0.3.0 -> v0.3.3 (latest: v0.4.6) (and other num crate updates). Perhaps a version bump is required in Cargo.toml.
