why yes, I have a local directory where I'm keeping my recipes. 

oddly enough this is the first recipe where I have a local one
that has the same name and version as one in the 
./openembedded/packages/glibc directory. 

I thought that there might be an issue where it was confused by
which file it should use. but I've since deleted the version
in the openembedded/packages/glibc directory. I've also 
removed the tmp directory... is there anything else I need to
clean out to make sure there are no conflicts?

how did you resolve your problems?

thanks
