Hi Morrice,

The issue is that the mix server binary paths have changed from that
repository and the documentation was not updated correspondingly... 

take a look at the Dockerfiles in https://github.com/katzenpost/docker

and also see that the binaries for the mix server components can be
built from the following path:

https://github.com/katzenpost/server/tree/master/cmd/server

(rather than the daemons repository).

Sorry that this is a mess.
