Problem with compiling Bayesian Belief Networks in Python Tutorial

Problem

In OS X, when trying to compile the tutorial of Bayesian Belief Networks in Python (https://github.com/eBay/bayesian-belief-networks), using Sphinx (http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/contents.html) you get the following error:

Extension error:

sphinx.ext.mathjax: other math package is already loaded
make: *** [html] Error 1

Solution

Modify the file conf.py, by removing ‘sphinx.ext.pngmath’ from the extensions  as follows:

#extensions = [‘sphinx.ext.pngmath’, ‘sphinx.ext.mathjax’, ‘sphinx.ext.viewcode’]
extensions = [‘sphinx.ext.mathjax’, ‘sphinx.ext.viewcode’]
