I have some problems with running neovim. I don't know what I have done but it shows me this message: nvim: /builddir/build/BUILD/neovim-0.5.0/src/nvim/ui_compositor.c:556: ui_comp_raw_line: Assertion 'attrs[i] >= 0' failed. I tried to search for this problem on the internet but it gave me nothing.

it seems that you built neovim from source. i dont know how your process was like. but i will show the steps that i tried and worked for me.

try to rebuilt again with these instructions:

  • clone 0.5
  • run make
  • run make install
  • run which nvim
  1. to clone
git clone --branch release-0.5 https://github.com/neovim/neovim
  1. build
cd neovim
make
  1. install
sudo make install
  1. see the path of neovim
which nvim

tell me what happens after running these steps.

if it doesnt work, try another way. clone the 0.6 release:

git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim

repeat the steps; and tell me the results

You can just download the pre-compiled binaries from the official NeoVim GitHub release page. Pay attention that in this page you can also find the development version which you may not want.

If you just want to download the latest stable release, go to the NeoVim GitHub and on the right you can find the Releases section which will show the latest stable version; click on that and you will be redirected to a page where you can download NeoVim in various format: tar.gz, zip, appimage ecc...

As for now you provided not enough information for helping you in the compiling process.
