Additional Packages

I also had to get autoconf (sudo apt-get install autoconf) for buildroot to work on Ubuntu 7.04

Fakeroot Problem

When I try to install on Ubuntu 7.04 I get:

  1. Use fakeroot to pretend to create all needed device nodes

/home/mydnight/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/staging_dir/usr/bin/fakeroot \ 

               -i /home/mydnight/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/staging_dir/fakeroot.env \
               -s /home/mydnight/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/staging_dir/fakeroot.env -- \
               /home/mydnight/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/staging_dir/bin/makedevs \
               -d target/generic/device_table.txt \
               /home/mydnight/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/root

Database load failed fakeroot: error while starting the `faked' daemon. kill: 1: Usage: kill [-s sigspec | -signum | -sigspec] [pid | job]... or kill -l [exitstatus] make: *** [/home/mydnight/gumstix-buildroot/rootfs.arm_nofpu.jffs2] Error 1

I have no idea how to fix this, as fakeroot is installed properly -- any suggestions?
