Hi Dawid Thanks for the offer of helping out. I've just spent the whole morning installing various versions of centos (6.7 minimal, minimal-gui; 7 minimal) and when trying to use buildroot to compile the rpms I always get the same error (below). I already know that buildroot Ubuntu 14.04 will fail due to the version of findlib required is not available for 14.04. I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 as a desktop and buildroot doesn't build on that either. This is from a minimum centos 7.2.15.11 install and then following the instructions for buildroot, everything works fine up until make - as mentioned above, this is the same error for 6.7 too - : [nick@igor buildroot]$ make Populating build directory: _build...done Updating dependencies...
