[Gumstix-users] buildroot make hangs at ibiblio.org

[Tony M. <mi...@bb...>]

Question from a very old Newbie:

I'm trying to "make" the buildroot.  Following the directions on the
Wiki...

I do:
svn co  http://svn.gumstix.com/gumstix-buildroot/trunk gumstix-buildroot
[works OK, now I've got a gumstix-buildroot directory]

Then , I do:

cd gumstix-buildroot
make defconfig
make

["make" grinds along for quite a while until it hangs up in a loop, trying
to fetch, apparently, the gcc bzip archive from ftp.ibiblio.org.  This ftp 
fetch
fails, and keeps repeating endlessly the sequence below.]

Has anyone else noticed this?  It looks as if some machine in the bowels
of ibiblio is dead.  Have I forgotten to set some config var?
