[Gumstix-users] Error with bitbate gumstix-basic-image: Task 523 Running "package gstreamer-0.10.14-r0: task do_configure: started"

[<Sm...@by...>]

I am setting up a build environment for the first time on my Fedora Core
6 PC.  

 

I am following the "Setting up a build environment" at
http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Getting-started/Setting-up-a-build-
environment/111.html.

 

I got to the point of executing bitbake gumstix-basic-image.

 

After letting it run all night, I came back this morning to find it
"Running task 523 of 1391 and then trying to use a separate window to
errors that referred to too many files were open.  I killed the bitbake
process by typing Ctrl-C multiple times.  And then restarted it with
bitbake -k gumstix-basic-image.  After a few seconds, I found using the
commad ps -eF that thousands of processes were being created.  Below I
have a portion of what was displayed on stdout and what was output by
the command ps -eF.

 

Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin
