MokoMakefile: Build fails on Fedora 7: "package ncurses-5.4-r8: task do_install: failed"

[MartinG]

Hi, ran into this problem when trying to build OpenMoko using the
MokoMakefile on Fedora 7. I have successfully run:

$ unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ make update-makefile
$ make update
$ make setup

but when I come to the following command, the build fails:

$ nice make openmoko-devel-image
...

I've searched the net and found a similar problem (also using Fedora
7) described here (in german):
http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/board/thread.php?postid=28146&sid=9b9849b7859eb41ff93eb1a43ddfb073#post28146

Other relevant info:
$ rpm -q ncurses
ncurses-5.6-6.20070303.fc7
$ uname -r
2.6.21-1.3228.fc7

(sorry, I'm not sure how to find the svn versions, and of those which
one is relevant. This is, however, a fresh update as within minutes
before i posted this.)

I just realized this might be related to OpenEmbedded alone, and not
really the MokoMakefile. If that is the case, please let me know, and
if possible, give me directions on how to investigate/report this...

Previously, in Fedora Core 6, I was able to build when following the
description given in
https://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Talk:MokoMakefile#Building_on_Fedora_Core_6
but even though I've installed those same packages in Fedora 7, i get
the error describe above.

Thanks,
MartinG
