Hello,
I'm getting an error when I try to bitbake ncurses.  I set up my 
openembedded environment according to the instructions at:
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom

when I do bitbake ncurses I get the following error:

Can anyone suggest how I can get it working?

Just in case you need this:

OS: Ubuntu 11.10
Processor: quad core AMD (64 bit)
