Hi,

I am trying to build this lib GitHub - redsift/kdb-rs-hash: Rust Metro64 and Metro128 bindings for kdb+ on macos

nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin unchanged - rustc 1.42.0-nightly (3291ae339 2020-01-15)
~/kdb-rs-hash(master ✗) cargo --version --verbose
cargo 1.42.0-nightly (ad3dbe10e 2020-01-13)

commit-hash: ad3dbe10e1e654fb1f032a5dd9481d7cbaa00d65

~/kdb-rs-hash(master ✗) cargo build --release
warning: unused import: rkdb::SYMBOLS

For more information about this error, try rustc --explain E0463.

Would appreciate any help in resolving this error

That crate is out of date. The alloc_system crate doesn't exist anymore - it's been folded into std: System in std::alloc - Rust

Thanks a lot for the prompt response, I tried building against an older nightly build which seems to have worked.
