Description Laurentiu Serban 2012-08-16 19:09:17 UTC 
While installing arm-toolchain (or the other non-intel architecture toolchains) with their default settings (opt/poky) the following error occurs.
Installing the x86_64-x86_64 toolchain succeeds in the same conditions.



lserban@laurentiu-02:~/Downloads$ ./poky-eglibc-x86_64-arm-toolchain-gmae-1.2+snapshot-20120810.sh
Enter target directory for Poky SDK (default: /opt/poky/1.2+snapshot): /opt/poky

Also there is no message requesting for the root password on root owned directory

Laurentiu S,

for installing under /opt/poky, you need to add sudo.  It worked for me.
Comment 3 Laurentiu Serban 2012-08-17 15:32:57 UTC 
Yes it is true but this not necessary for all the toolchains.
Comment 4 Laurentiu Serban 2012-08-21 15:22:52 UTC 
Hello guys,
I will clarify this:
If I am trying to install several toolchains in the same directory /opt/poky/1.2+snapshot.
The first installation works ok, but the subsequent ones fail as I showed in the description even if using sudo or previously changing the ownership of the opt directory recursively.
Comment 6 Alexandru Georgescu 2012-09-21 10:57:13 UTC 
This doesn't reproduce using sudo. I will open a separate bug as a feature request to ask the sudo passwd.
