Thanks, I installed Helios directly from the Eclipse site and that's
working better now.  I also installed the components you mention above.

When I try to configure Yocto, I'm trying to use the Poky tree method
but it doesn't like my tree :-(  I pointed it to my build directory
(the one which contains tmp/, sstate-cache/ and conf/)

What else am I missing?
