Thanks David and Matt for the tips!  I think David is right about needing to track down an admin.  I thought I would check for any workarounds just in case...
Regards,
Chrissy

When following the instructions on http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Getting-started/Setting-up-a-build-environment/111.html, how did you get around the following steps without super-user privileges?
$ sudo groupadd oe
$ sudo usermod -a -G oe your_username
$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/sources
$ sudo chgrp oe /usr/share/sources
$ sudo chmod 0775 /usr/share/sources
$ sudo chmod ug+s /usr/share/sources

Thanks,
Chrissy

Subject: Setting up build environment without root priveleges

Hello,
I am attempting to set up the gumstix build environment without root privileges.  No matter what I try (modifying .conf files), I always get the same bitbake output, and it comes out very quickly.  The following is what happens:
$ bitbake gumstix-basic-image
<home directory>/gumstix/gumstix-oe/bitbake/bin/bitbake: Permission denied.
Since I don't know where or why permission is being denied, I'm having trouble in troubleshooting this problem.
Can anyone offer advice on setting up the build environment without root privileges?
Thanks,
Chrissy
