[yocto] ERROR: Function failed: do_install_perf

[Saxena, Rahul]

Hi,

I suddenly started to get the following error when  running bitbake. I am using Denzil branches of poky, meta-intel and poky-extras. I installed libper-dev as suggested by the error message, but it made no difference.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks
Rahul
