(There are some great tutorials on this site on how to build the hardware. Thanks guys!)

There is a workaround by installing the old version of gcc, but as this caused other problems, I regressed to Ubuntu 8.4. Here is how I got the image built to install on the Verdex Pro.

		+	<LI> $mkdir gumstix
		+	<LI> $cd gumstix
		+	<LI> $svn co https://gumstix.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gumstix/trunk gumstix-oe
		+	</UL>
		+
		+	This can take a little bit to download. Once its done then do the following:
		+	<UL>
		+	<LI> $cat gumstix-oe/extras/profile >> ~/.bashrc
		+	<LI> $ sudo groupadd oe
		+	<LI> $ sudo usermod -a -G oe your_username

		+	<LI> $ sudo chmod 0775 /usr/share/sources
		+	<LI> $ sudo chmod ug+s /usr/share/sources
		+	</UL>
		+	I found that I had to change some permissions on folders in order to get everything to run. Make sure that you have full permission to the gumstix folder without having to sudo. Then do the following
		+
		+	<UL>
		+	<LI> $bitbake gumstix-basic-image
		+	</UL>
		+
		+	On my Acer this build took almost 8 hours, so don't panic if it seems to hang at some points. There were some points in which my machine would try to connect to the repositories to download info and it would have to try several times, which obviously added time to the build.
		+
		+	When the build is done and you are back at your prompt:
		+	<UL>
		+	<LI> ls ~/gumstix/gumstix-oe/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/gumstix-custom-verdex/
		+	</UL>
		+	This will show you several files. You want to ensure that you have the following files:
		+	<UL>
		+	<LI>gumstix-basic-image-gumstix-custom-verdex.jffs2
		+	<LI> uImage-2.6.22-r1-gumstix-custom-verdex.bin
		+	</UL>
		+
		+	These are the files you will be shooting over to the verdex pro. Now you have to setup Kermit:
		+	<UL>
		+	<LI> $ sudo apt-get install ckermit
		+	</UL>
		+	Then create a script in your home directory (it doesn't really matter where, just somewhere you can get to it easily)
		+	Add the following and make sure to change the take line to match your path:
		+
		+	#!/usr/bin/kermit +
		+	kermit -l /dev/ttyUSB0
		+	set speed 115200
		+	set reliable
		+	fast
		+	set carrier-watch off
		+	set flow-control none
		+	set prefixing all
		+	set file type bin
		+	set rec pack 4096
		+	set send pack 4096
		+	set window 5
		+	take /home/yourname/gumstix/gumstix-oe/extras/kermit-setup

-Note From the Main Wiki: It is likely that /bin/sh is linked to /bin/dash. If this is the case, then you will need to change /bin/sh to link to /bin/bash. Neglecting to do this will cause file corruption and your build image will not boot! Run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash" and answer no when asked whether you want to install dash as /bin/sh.
