Help with first compile

Help with first compile

[maniacbug]

Hi.  I am trying to bring up OE for the first time, following this guide:  http://docs.openembedded.org/usermanual/usermanual.html.  Running on Ubuntu 11.10.

I've followed every step precisely through "Building Software".  Then I try "bitbake base-image", and get pages of errors.  The top lines are listed below.  Is this doc out of date?  Or, is it possible to divine from this what error I may have made?

Thanks!

I would suggest starting at www.yoctoproject.org if you are new to 
OpenEmbedded. They have guides which are up to date and new user 
friendly. If you don't want to use the suggested 'poky' distro that 
yocto uses the guides still relate to OpenEmbedded as that is what Poky 
uses as it's base.

Regards,
Jack.
