Is anybody able to actually BUILD the Angstrom release?

[David Hagood]

Well, I've:
* Removed the Debian bitbake package.
* pulled down the latest Bitbake and untar'ed it into a directory
* changed my BBPATH to include that directory
* added the bin subdirectory to my path
* verified that I am running the new bitbake binary, and now all I can
get it to do is say:

bitbake
ERROR: Please set the 'PERSISTENT_DIR' or 'CACHE' variable.


(NOTE: before I changed things Bitbake worked.)

I have CACHE in my environment (verified by "set | grep CACHE") and in
my local.conf - WHERE ELSE SHOULD I PUT IT?

strace'ing bitbake doesn't show it looking for my local.conf file.

I've googled for that error, only to have every hit be somebody asking
this question and being told "Wrong list - ask one of the developers."

This really ISN'T painting OpenEmbedded nor Bitbake in a very good
light.
