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

[Eldon Hiebert]

That is entirely the problem..... please read the post title. BitBake is
not reading the local.conf file!

Do I need to add an include from bitbake.conf to include local.conf?
Either the documentation on OE is not very clear on all of these config
files, or I just can't find the right tidbit.

How do I get local.conf (and distro.conf, and machine.conf) to be read
by bitbake? It appears to not be reading any of these.

TIA,
Eldon.
