[oe-users] local.conf seems to be ignored.

[Eldon Hiebert]

I'm still stumped on why this thing won't read local.conf from the
<proj>/build/conf directory... So just to recap:

I have the correct BBPATH and know this as bitbake.conf is read.
My PATH picks the the correct uninstalled version of 1.8.9

BitBake always complains about "ERROR: Set the CACHE variable" unless I
also define that in my environment. It should be read from local.conf.

The output of bitbake -D -D -D displays:

Any further ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
