I see three problems here:

1) Your build failed for some reason
2) The script that's supposed to show you the build logs, print-vse-failure-logs, is broken
3) The path to the BuildLog.htm files at the end of the error message is wrong. It should be /home/amang/webkit/WebKitBuild/<config>/obj/<project>.

Fixing (2) would make it easier to diagnose (1), but it's not required. You can look at the build logs yourself in /home/amang/webkit/WebKitBuild/<config>/obj/<project> to figure out what went wrong.

It would be great if you could file bugs at http://webkit.org/new-bug for (2) and (3).
