Hi, I am not sure where to exactly post this but I am following the guidelines of the error message. When trying to build some documentation using sphinx I am facing two major issues :
1. I must be root to generate the doc, a bit weird but it is OK, following
the traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

2. when executed as root I am getting another error:

The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-p4045u.log, if you
want to report the issue to the developers.
Please also report this if it was a user error, so that a better error
message can be provided next time.
Either send bugs to the mailing list at
<http://groups.google.com/group/sphinx-users/>,
or report them in the tracker at
<http://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/issues/>. Thanks!
I am attaching the log file as requested.
I am running ubuntu 13.04 with sphinx installed through easy_install.
Does anyone know why this is happening ?
