I Think I Broke My Oe Env.

[MrSquishy]

I did
bk pull; bk -r co -q
and now I get this:

mrsquishy@VonBraun:~/oe/build$ bitbake freesci
NOTE: Using cache in '/home/mrsquishy/oe/build/tmp/cache'
NOTE: Parsing finished. 2055 cached, 0 parsed, 42 skipped, 0 masked.

    if tmpHandler(event) == Handled:
  File "tmpHandler(e)", line 30, in tmpHandler
NameError: global name 'bb' is not defined

I tried reinstalling bitbake (Even redownloaded it with Subversion), and I get this:

VonBraun:/home/mrsquishy/oe/bitbake# ./setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./setup.py", line 20, in ?
    from distutils.core import setup
ImportError: No module named distutils.core
VonBraun:/home/mrsquishy/oe/bitbake#

Have I completely screwed something up, or are some secret changes taking place?

Please don't try to get support for OE here. We have a mailing list for a reason. Just for the records though - distutils is a module from your local system. Install it.

Well I guess it is time to stop being lazy and join the mailing list.
Thanks.

I must have done something to it, it used to work.

Is there anywhere where beginning OE people are gathering?  Not so much for the support, but just to see where others are at and have some info and feedback on writing .bb files and the like.  The wiki is lacking a lot of info (Not a gripe at all, those who are working have a lot of other things to do).

The forums here have such a great community, it'd be nice to have a forum for people to know they arent alone in OE.

But I'll stop polluting the OZ/Opie Dev. forum.

Thanks again.
