Hi, I am a new user to this forum. I searched for this error but didn't find any results for it so hopefully I'm not repeating a previously answered question. I was following the instructions on this page: http://www.gumstix.net/Setup-and-Programming/view/Overo-Setup-and-Programming/Setting-up-a-build-environment/111.html When I got the bottom of the page and tried to run the $ bitbake omap3-console-image command I received this error: ERROR: Please set the 'PERSISTENT_DIR' or 'CACHE' variable. I have spent hours searching the internet for solutions and have not found anything useful. Any suggestions?

All you have to do is cd into the "overo-oe" directory or such and run ". build/profile". :) > Hi, I am a new user to this forum.

Eeehh? Did you run the command(without the quotes of course)?

I ran that exactly as you said and tried a few other things. It seem like it's trying to access files that are supposed to be in the 'overo-oe/tmp' directory when there actually isn't anything there. What is supposed to be in that directory? Victhor Foster wrote: > > Eeehh? Did you run the command(without the quotes of course)?

It should be created automatically IIRC. I only get that error if I forget to run . build/profile. > I ran that exactly as you said and tried a few other things.

Strange. There's nothing in the 'overo-oe/tmp' directory besides the 'cache' directory. On the other machine I'm trying to set up it doesn't even have the ' build/profile' file on it at all, or the tmp directory. This is my first time trying to get this to work and I haven't succeeded yet. I think I might just go back and retry from scratch. :/ Thanks for the help.

I appreciate anybody who recalls this outdated issue and can tell me what the solution is.. . build/profile didn't do anything for me.
