MPL building failure

Hello list,

I am sorry to be trying to solve my problems by just writing to the
list, but I could not think of any other ways to solve it as google
was not very verbose.

The build log part, which indicates a failure:

    with open(src, 'rb') as fsrc:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:

I was wondering if anybody could tell me what is wrong with my system?
I am using Gentoo and I am trying to build the git/master branch,
however git/v1.1.x also fails at the same place.

Could anybody help me, please? :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Ignas A.

Sorry to have caused noise. Actually there were problems with

building

examples and documentation, which were giving out different errors.

The above is with documentation and example building enabled, the

above is with docs disabled, but examples enabled:

I think there is a separate zip for the mpl-data, which are needed for the examples. Grab that from sourceforge, or grab the entire source tree from github.
