[Slackbuilds-users] Sphinx Version 1.7.0 build failure

[Konrad J Hambrick]

All --

As Chris said, I should have figured it out for myself from this particular
error message in my SlackBuild.log:  "The 'packaging' distribution ..."

However, I am not much of a Python Guy, so thanks for the hint Chris ! :)

Anyhow ... I built and installed pyparsing ( REQUIRED for packaging ) and
then packaging and then Sphinx-1.7.0 built and installed without error.

Playing with it now but it looks good !

Thanks to Dimitris, Didier and Chris and especially to Ben for the
Sphinx.SlackBuild !
