[IPython-dev] ipython fails to build on latest master

[Zoltán Vörös]

Hi all,


I have just checked out the latest code from github, and I end up with 
the following error when trying to build ipython


v923z at tux:ipython$ sudo python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
running jsversion
running css

Failed to build css sourcemaps: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Indeed, the components directory is empty. I then went on to remove my 
ipython folder completely, and cloned the repository to the local 
directory, but this issue doesn't seem to go away. Can someone comment 
on this issue?

Thanks,
