Set the environment variable ECOS_REPOSITORY to your packages directory.
Thats where the ecos.db lives.

Floopy.

The install tree is normally inside work tree with the name install. To
try

mht@linux:~> sh /opt/ecos/ecos-2.0/examples/build_Make.params
/home/mht/work/httpd_test/ecos_kernel/install

etc

Andrew,

Thanks a million...I got it to work!  I set the ECOS_REPOSITORY
variable, went back to ecosconfig and built the kernel successfully.
>From there, the rest was painless.  I realize now that using the GUI
tool may have been another source of aggravation.  The layout of all the
directories in the GUI build was *radically* different from the CLI
build.  

Regards,
Mike
