Research direction

Start by running cargo build with rustc 1.24.1 and inspect the reported locations in src/main.rs: lines 99, 106, and 114-119. Verify the compatibility issue is addressed at those matches, then rerun the build on Debian 9; done means compilation succeeds without these errors.

Description

Ran $ cargo build and rustc (ver 1.24.1) output the following:
