Hi,

I'm getting this on Ubuntu 10.04:

I managed to get past this by symlinking libzma.so.5 into /usr/local/lib/, though then I got another error from nativesdk and trying to rebuild it with `bitbake meta-toolchain` reproduced the error again:

not sure what to do here ... is it a possible breakage in the master branch or host distro/version related?

I'm about to deploy the appliance image, will see if I get this same error or what not ...
