make pdf for sphinx-build fails with LayoutError in reportlab/platypus/doctemplate.py

I can build each individual .rst file using “rst2pdf <file>.rst” and get .pdf file. However when running “make pdf” I get:

[ERROR] pdfbuilder.py:130 More than 10 pages generated without content - halting layout.  Likely that a flowable is too large for any frame.

Where should I look, or what should I try next? Versions:

$ sphinx-build --version
sphinx-build 1.7.6

Usually, “more than 10 pages generated without content” occurs when an image is too large and isn’t being scaled or there’s a really large block of text or a table that can’t fit onto one page or be wrapped.

In this case, as you can build each rst file, I’m confused! Maybe try building just 2 rst files with make and then add each rst file until you find which one it’s upset with?

I have used pdf_use_index = False and still get the same error. I also tried to remove the width: attribute in the img.

Here is my error trace:
