Build inspect.js failed on MAC OSX

[XiaolinSh]

I tried to build inspect.js on MAC, it failed as follows,

Traceback (most recent call last):

Interesting, are there any other details about the error? I'm currently using emcc 1.37.19 and I don't have any troubles. I wonder if something has changed.

[XiaolinSh]

I verified that emscripten 1.37.19 is worked.

I don't see this either (on latest incoming, 1.37.22).

@xiaolinshen , does building from scratch (rm -rf .inspect in tools/) work? Perhaps an older build's outputs don't mix well with new ones.

If that's not it, perhaps there is something on your system different from ours, like an OS-specific bug. You may be able to bisect on the emscripten repo to find the cause, in that case.
