Issues during execution of prepare_dependencies

[Tan JH]

Hello, I have tried to build the Google C++ API Library, but constantly run into this same error and hope someone would be able to assist.

During the execution of prepare_dependencies, this error keeps popping up.

These files could not be found and will not be loaded.Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./prepare_dependencies.py", line 1161, in <module>

    processed_packages = installer.Run()

  File "./prepare_dependencies.py", line 1142, in Run

    self.ProcessDependencyOrDie(key)
