Nim fails to find libraries on compile

[rivnakm]

Description

Platform: aarch64, nim compiled from source.nim
Nim has been compiled and installed using the provided scripts from the source tarball.

Upon attempting to compile a program with nim the following error is produced
Error: cannot open '/usr/lib/nim/lib/system.nim'

Seems that nim is looking for libraries in /usr/lib/nim/lib and they are being installed to /usr/lib/nim.
I'm not sure which repo the install script lives in so apologies if this is in the wrong place

I have the same issue on a Raspberry Pi 2 (linux_armv7l).

A workaround is to create a symlink:

cd /usr/lib/nim
ln -s ./ ./lib

In my case it is the other way around:

Error: cannot open '/usr/lib/system.nim'

but nim is installed under /usr/lib/nim/

EDIT:
It seems install.sh fails to copy over nim-2.2.0/lib/system.nim. However even after manually copying the file to the location I am getting:

Error: cannot open file: system/basic_types

EDIT2: So yeah I cannot get it to work.

Here is my install.sh config:

      bindir="$1/bin"
      configdir="$settings_target/nim"
      libdir="$1/lib/nim"
      docdir="$1/doc"
      datadir="$1/share/nim/data"
      nimbleDir="$1"

This used to work fine with nim <2.0.
