By far the most common cause of this is forgetting/failing/mis-entering:

. /usr/local/openmoko/arm/setup-env

You need the intial '. ', which tells the shell to 'source' the specified
file instead of execute it.  If executed it sets all the environment
variables, then when it finishes all the changes are lost as it returns to
your shell.  Once that's done, you can try "echo $PATH" and the first
component of the path should be "/usr/local/openmoko/arm/bin" - that folder
should contain om-conf and 40-some other programs that are aprt of the
toolchain.  If it still fails, post back what shell you're using.  ('echo
$SHELL')

PS - I think a more descriptive name in your email addressing would be
nice... ;)
