pkg-config error during ConnectCore6 image compilation

Hello,

I am trying to recompile the dey-image-graphical image after a bitbake dey-image-graphical -c cleanall. Now, when i compile, bitbake fails and the following error comes out:

I tried to locate my .pc files, there are located here:

[i]
/opt/dey/1.6.2/graphical/sysroots/cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-dey-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/pkgconfig/…

/home/belem/workspace/ccimx6sbc/tmp/work/cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-dey-linux-gnueabi/…[/i]

I also tried to remove and reinstall the pkg-config package on my dev computer(Ubuntu 14.04) using the apt-get remove and apt-get install pkg-config. This package is well installed but the problem seems to be the PKG_CONFIG variable. How can i specify to bitbake the PKG_CONFIG path? I tried with export PKG_CONFIG=/…/…/… just before executing the bitbake compilation, but that did not work.
Has anyone an idea?

looks like you are on DEY 1.6.2
Try upgrading Yocto to 1.6.5 first:
http://ftp1.digi.com/support/documentation/90001423_D.pdf

then upgrade workspace projects:
Updating existing projects
When updating your installation of Digi Embedded Yocto, you will need to erase the tmp and sstatecache
directories from existing projects and build them from scratch. Leaving the directories intact
may result in problems in the build and the final images.

If it still fails try starting workspace project from scratch

The updated DEY 1.6 documentation is now available at this URL: http://ftp1.digi.com/support/documentation/90001423.pdf.
