No Joy,
./configure bails out with;
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.

seems like it is looking for /lib/cpp and it just isn't there.

to add insult to injury, it seems like Ubuntu 9.04 won't build Limey Linux either.
I decided to try a build without changes just to see. the build script can not find or run 'makeinfo'

Hello,
I would like to use socat on my LL box as a remote virtual com port for 
a windows application controlling my Kenwood TS2K (in addition to 
iax-rpt). The pre-built CF image does not appear to include the socat 
binaries.
Do I just edit the socat line in the d201gly2-buildroot.config file 
(despite the do not edit warning)
to include it in a new image build?
Also, the readme file makes reference to a PACKAGES file that includes 
all the packages in a build. I have been unable to locate this file.

May I suggest an alternate plan of attack?

Limey linux has a C compiler built in. As long as ./configure passes for
socat, then you can compile it on the target machine, and install it in
/usr/local/sbin or /usr/local/bin. Do a svcfg to save the contents of
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin so it comes back across power cycles.

This will not work if your package requires things like perl, c++, tcl,
or python. There is only bare-bones development abilities available
(just enough to install Asterisk and Zaptel).
