Py-faster-rcnn: error: ../MatlabAPI/private/maskApi.c: No such file or directory

[fungtion]

I downloaded the latest py-faster-rcnn, but when I run the command:

cd py-faster-rcnn/lib
make

it said:
x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc: error: ../MatlabAPI/private/maskApi.c: No such file or directory
x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 4
make: [all] Error 1*

Can anyone fix it?

I'm getting the same error with my code

@fungtion @eonurk
I got the same error and fixed this as follows:

1. open the file py-faster-rcnn/lib/_mask.pyx, change the second line # distutils: sources = ../MatlabAPI/private/maskApi.c --> # distutils: sources = pycocotools/maskApi.c
2. delete the existing *.so files in lib/pycocotools
3. cd py-faster-rcnn/lib and make

I hope this solution can work for you.
