Do you have a Cargo.toml? The text explains how running 'cargo new' generates one for you.

yes I just pasted everything from the book and [CODE] $ ~/data/projects/rust/hello/src$ cargo build

failed to parse manifest at `/home/john/data/projects/rust/hello/src/Cargo.toml`

Caused by: either a [lib] or [[bin]] section must be present [/CODE]

Not a real good start for a introduction.

You're inside the `src` directory. Try it from the top level (~/data/projects/rust/hello) instead.

What's odd is that for me, even if I am in a `src` directory, cargo will keep going up the path until it finds a Cargo.toml. Maybe in this case, there is an extra Cargo.toml inside the `src` directory itself?

Thanks I just figured that out. I does work from there. Thank You much

Any time. Sorry it was a problem :/
