Re: [Gumstix-users] ncurses_5.7 fails

[Bob C. <bco...@ve...>]

J.L., what you say is true provided you are quite sure your sources have 
not been corrupted. In my case, I believed the sources I had downloaded, 
and which bitbake had worked on, could be corrupted. I had nothing you 
might call proof except the shasum mismatches and the certainty that 
Redhat's version of patch has trouble operating on legacy code. Given 
that the sources are always there on the internet, and that I have a 
fast internet connection available, and that I hadn't gone even 10-15% 
of the way through the build action, I elected to delete my sources 
directory and start fresh. No heartache involved for me (smile).

Thanks

Bob
