Can you check the contents of the file referenced in the build failure
above and if it has any worthwhile info post it back to the list?

The instructions at gumstix.org work fine for me. It seems that most of the
time when folks have issues its due to either using some build distro that
isn't directly supported or they aren't reading the directions thoroughly.
You'll find a lot of folks providing instructions/how-tos for gumstix, but
if you try to use to many resources chances are good that you'll have
problems. I'd suggest starting with the instructions at gumstix.org without
considering any other resources, and see where that gets you.

Actually, the first step on that page is to copy the helloworld ipk file to
the gumstix. The sentence before that one tells you "lets imagine...", so
its kind of letting you know its just an example. Since there is no
helloworld ipk I don't see how you could be confused here... That is, if
you read the page.

Many of them work. Not all, but many. Just be sure to read things carefully.

Start with getting your build environment setup and building successfully.
There are also other options like compiling code natively on the gumstix,
but IMO for real development you'll want a proper build environment.

HTH,
