Error: (E549) uncaught exception: yaml-cpp: error at line 0, column 0: invalid node; this may result from using a map iterator as a sequence iterator, or vice-versa about noxim HOT 2 CLOSED

Fixed, the way I did it was the following:

Instead of installing the libyaml-cpp-dev from Ubuntu official repositories, I downloaded the latest version from https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/archive/master.zip, as stated in the doc/INSTALL.txt (alternative way).

Once yaml-cpp was built and installed in a custom folder of mine, I modified the noxim Makefile to read:

##### LIBRARIES CONFIGURATION #####

SYSTEMC := /home/juanjosegcc/local/systemc/2.3.1a
YAML    := /home/juanjosegcc/local/yaml-cpp/0.5.3

OBJS := $(subst $(SRCDIR),$(OBJDIR),$(SRCS:.cpp=.o))

As you can see the variables SYSTEMC and YAML at the beginning were modified with my custom folders (just as the doc/INSTALL.txt suggests), but also in variable OTHER you should add the compiler option -std=c++11 in order to build with the yaml-cpp library.

Thats it! Looks like the latests version in Ubuntu repositories of yaml-cpp is v.0.5.2, but the version downloaded from the author's repository is v0.5.3.

Kind regards

Hello,
I have the same problem, when I execute Noxim, I have the following error:
