Error converting Ipython Notebook - ipython

Question

I have two ipynb files in two folders. Once converts no problem, the other wont convert. Am I doing something wrong? I am converting to html
File 1:
cd C:\Users\rcreedon\Dropbox\GIZSupervisor\DATA\Production_Data\STP_Data\Data_Sets\Wave1\1004
ipython nbconvert 1004ProdData.ipynb --to html
A total success
File 2:
cd C:\Users\rcreedon\Dropbox\GIZSupervisor\DATA\Production_Data\STP_Data\Data_Sets\Wave1\1006
ipython nbconvert 1006prodData.ipynb --to html
A Horrid failure.
Error message looks like this
C:\Users\rcreedon\Dropbox\GIZSupervisor\DATA\Production_Data\STP_Data\Data_Sets
Wave1\1006>ipython nbconvert 1006ProdData.ipynb --to html

Answer 1

not sure if this is still active or not, but a very similar problem was solved for me by adding the cabal binary path (ex $HOME/.cabal/bin) to bash $PATH.
