Note there is another issue here. the first time you receive the error it is when you use this command: ./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make however the second time you run that command, the error does not appear. it only appears when you run the update/upgrade command listed on the deployment page. that command is: git submodule update && ./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade && ./bin gmg update I would expect the error to appear under the bootstrap and configure commands.
