Additional Packages
I also had to get autoconf (sudo apt-get install autoconf) for buildroot to work on Ubuntu 7.04

Fakeroot Problem
When I try to install on Ubuntu 7.04 I get:

/home/mydnight/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/staging_dir/usr/bin/fakeroot \ -i /home/mydnight/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/staging_dir/fakeroot.env \ -s /home/mydnight/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/staging_dir/fakeroot.env -- \ /home/mydnight/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/staging_dir/bin/makedevs \ -d target/generic/device_table.txt \ /home/mydnight/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/root Database load failed fakeroot: error while starting the `faked' daemon. kill: 1: Usage: kill [-s sigspec | -signum | -sigspec] [pid | job]... or kill -l [exitstatus] make: *** [/home/mydnight/gumstix-buildroot/rootfs.arm_nofpu.jffs2] Error 1
 * 1) Use fakeroot to pretend to create all needed device nodes

I have no idea how to fix this, as fakeroot is installed properly -- any suggestions?
