That's why the output of e2ping is redirected to /dev/null in the Makefile.

As I mentioned earlier, the error message from gs is
expected and can be safely ignored for perfbook.pdf generation.
Please restore Makefile by "git checkout -- Makefile".
Glad to know you can now build .pdf on your own.
And if you will ever do the first-time build again, you can do
parallel make by saying "make -j4" (4 is for a quad-core machine).
You can try it by "make neatfreak; make -j4" if you'd like to.
