--help always replies ERROR: ... about wallet713

rust 1.31+

I used rust and cargo that are in Fedora (28) repositories.

git clone https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin.git cd grin cargo build --release

That's what I did, possibly with --recursive added to clone.

I confirm that I've reproduced this issue successfully.

did you follow the steps in setting up grin correctly? had the same issue when missing cargo build!

rust 1.31+ (use rustup- i.e. curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh; source $HOME/.cargo/env)
if rust is already installed, you can simply update version with rustup update

git clone https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin.git
cd grin
cargo build --release

Lehnberg: what OS are you using? It must be a permission issue. On Mac with homebrew it works

@dasterdly I'm on macOS as well. Just to be clear: --help still works, but it includes an ERROR: first.

In git checkout from few min ago, --help doesn't work for help itself:

wallet713> help --help
ERROR: error: The subcommand '--help' wasn't recognized

USAGE:
         help <subcommands>...

For more information try --help

even tough technically it should:

wallet713> help
ERROR:  

USAGE:
     [SUBCOMMAND]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

fixed with the recent commit.
