Hello Utkarsh Rai,

I now have seen that bug about two or three times on the list. But I've
never been able to reproduce it. What host system are you using? Do you
have a python2 or a python3 as default python?

Sometimes it works to clean up the libbsd directory. Remove the "build"
directory and the ".waf2..." or ".waf3..." directory. Also remove any
"__pycache__" directories.

>From your call it seems that you use waf from your host system. Can you
try to use the waf version delivered with libbsd instead (using "./waf
configure ...")?

Best regards

Christian
