I would not advise anyone using a recent version of OE to pay any
attention to that link!

The OE snapshot that the author is working with is more than a year old!

I do OE builds daily on Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 with no issues.

I do OE builds daily on Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 with no issues.

I was using OE to build beagleboard-demo-image on FC8. It works well.

Recently I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a USB HDD for use with a laptop.

I had some troubles building beagleboard-demo-image from Angstrom stable/2009 branch. Some error related gdk-pixbuf-csource not found.

It worked after doing "sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev" to install gtk development libraries. Mentioned in openSUSE section of (1).

Following link is handy when you change your distro.
