Can't use Cargo to build hello world example from Rust tutorial

I followed the Rust book/tutorial on the Rust page at, http://doc.rust-lang.org/book/hello-cargo.html, and get the below error when doing the section on Cargo. The command was cargo build --verbose. I used the verbose flag because of a failure in the build process. It looks like Cargo is trying to build a file named "verbose". I did use the verbose flag; it's almost like the arguments sent to rustc are missing a -- prefix?

Process didn't exit successfully: `rustc -v verbose` (status=101)
--- stderr
error: couldn't read verbose: IoError { kind: FileNotFound, desc: "couldn\'t ope
n path as file", detail: Some("file not found (OS Error 2: The system cannot fin
d the file specified.\r\n); path=verbose; mode=open; access=read") }

The Cargo.toml file contains this text:

[package] 

name = "hello_world" version = "0.0.1" 
authors = [ "Your name <[email protected]>" ] 

[[bin]] 

name = "hello_world"

The computer I am running is Windows 7 64 bit using the 64 bit nightly install from 2 days ago 1/18/2015.

I just followed the tutorial you linked, and I don't see any reference to using the verbose flag. I assume that you looked at the help for Cargo or otherwise learned about it.

However, when I followed the first two steps ("Hello, world!" and "Hello, Cargo!"), I was able to run cargo build --verbose.

I think you will need to provide more information about your particular setup.
