first remark:
there is no need to run bitbake as root.

2nd thing you could check is if the file exists in your tree and if so
if your path is set properly.

3rd: do not use "bitbake -b" command but "bitbake" because "-b" expands to 
"--be-not-nice-to-me-and-do-not-build-dependencies".

More remarks:

1. Don't use -b unless you really know what you are doing, better use 'bitbake linphone'.
2. Check whether BBPATH is correctly set (pointing to your conf files).

Rephrase that.

DONT RUN BITBAKE AS ROOT!!!!!!!!!

That way will only lead to your host machine having bits of its filesystem
replaced/deleted. OE relies on sandboxing the build as a non priviledged user.

  if you feel that strongly about it, why not just have bitbake refuse
to run as root?  seems like a simple solution.

sanity.bbclass does already include a check for non-root:

        if 0 == os.getuid():
                raise_sanity_error("Do not use Bitbake as root.")

I think that ought to be sufficient.  Folks who override the sanity
checking do so at their own risk.

You mean like

	if 0 == os.getuid():
		raise_sanity_error("Do not use Bitbake as root.")


Terminal stupidity is not really my problem, people will learn when
they need to rebuild their build machines from scratch.
