Source directory problem for notebook examples

I had some trouble building the docs using

make html

from the /docs directory. The problem seemed to come from the file ‘tools/nbgenerate.py’, which has the line

SOURCE_DIR = ("/home/skipper/statsmodels/statsmodels-skipper/examples/"
          "notebooks")

Obviously the first directory didn’t exist for me, which caused an error.

Current version: 0.6.0.dev-b2c35b4

Googled my error and came across an old thread. I hadn’t built statsmodels in place yet-

~/statsmodels $ python setup.py build_ext --inplace

Builds fine now.

The relative path in #1854 works for me.

I’m using Anaconda and ended up having to do $ export PYTHONPATH="/Users/clark/statsmodels before building docs since it was unable to import statsmodels.compat.

After that the docs start building until I get the following error. Not sure what it means to have all these cells with exceptions also.
