my system

• Ubuntu 14.04
• x86_64
• rustc 1.2.0
• cargo 0.4.0-nightly

Thank you!

This crate only works with a nightly compiler, meaning 1.2.0 isn't appropriate and this behaviour is expected. You may be interested in https://github.com/brson/multirust to help juggle Rust versions.

Thanks for filing!
