ninja -C build install
+Several users have reported issues with meson installation, crux of the issue is a potential version
+mismatch between the version that is installed in root, and version that the normal user
+uses. On calling meson, it can't find the build.ninja module. This can be solved by two ways:
+
+1) Don't install meson again if it is already installed system-wide
+2) If you still went ahead and installed, uninstall meson using pip, and install again without --user argument

Changelog: * Updated README.rst to describ meson install issue While installing meson using pip3 install --user meson, due to python path issues, build.ninja can't be located by ninja. meson generates ninja files fine, but then when you run ninja, it is unable to find meson's build.ninja python module due to path issues. It gives the following error on ninja -C build install: ninja: Entering directory `build' ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory After uninstalling meson using pip3 and installing it again using pip without --user argument solved the issue.
