Hi
Having installed the Yocto required packages and created a git branch of
the project in a new installation of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I have tried
building the core-image-minimal image but continually have the process
fail. Having gone through the installation process several times not I
simply cannot seem to get this solved.
i must add that after a fresh install of the yocto project and set up of
my host i find that Bitbake will not execute on first attempt and must
be installed. I do not remember this having to be done in my previous
use of the Yocto Project to successfully build an image.
The error i get is as follows:
tpage at ubuntu:~/poky/batmel$ bitbake core-image-minimal

Any feedback will be appreciated even as to where I should look for the
problem
