make failed

[iplayfast]

fresh install of ljthw and gitbook make returns gitbook build make: *** [_book/index.html] Error 1

Hate going down these rabbit holes.

@iplayfast I didn't write the makefile or indeed any of the gitbook stuff..... so I can't fix this, I'm afraid.

Anyone is welcome to chip in ;)

I hit this error too. After trying to recreate the book in a new file I and running gitbook init I received the error

/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

Googling that error led me here. After running

ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

I went back to the learn julia the hard way directory and ran make just fine.

Note that the compilation also requires calibre to be installed.

You have to install the command line tools for calibre too:

ln -s /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/ebook-convert /usr/local/bin
