What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Follow instructions in "Building on Linux" wiki page
2.On the step "Updating the Chromium sources"
3.Get error

What do you see instead?

/usr/bin/python: can't open file 'src/cef/tools/gclient_hook.py': [Errno 2] No 
such file or directory
Error: Command /usr/bin/python src/cef/tools/gclient_hook.py returned non-zero 
exit status 2

Attempting to rerun the command (as per the directions) results in the same 
error

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

CEF3, Ubuntu 12.10 64bit

Please provide any additional information below.

copying the cef3@1290 dir to src/cef seems to work, but then I got another 
error, which may be a seperate issue:
Generating CEF project files...

I re-ran with sudo (hoping to resolve the permissions error) but it failed with 
a command: gclient not found error.  So I attempted to sudo export path, but 
apparently that doesn't work- got a command: export not found error.

Now I'm stuck.  I'll try adding gclient to my path permanently, but I don't 
have time to try it at the moment... will report back if that helps resolve it.

I have updated the "Download the Chromium sources" section on the BuildOnLinux
wiki page, see point 2:

    The path to the chromium/ directory should be as short as possible and should not
    contain any spaces. An example of a bad path is "/media/james/FreeAgent 
    Drive2/CEFPy Stuff/chromium". An example of a good path is "/home/user/chromium".

I see a total of four directories with spaces in your logs:

    FreeAgent Drive2
    CEFPy Stuff
    python tools
    python src

Get rid of the spaces and make the path short.

The "depot_tools" directory must be in your PATH.
