StudioDir variable issue

[RSemple]

I am attempting to install the nRF Connect SDK on my CentOS 8 machine. It looked like it installed correctly, but when I attempt to load the zephyr sample "Hello World" in the SES application, it errors out with the below messages.  My initial guess is that the StudioDir variable is set incorrectly. Does anyone know how to globally reset it?

- Run "west init" to set up a workspace here.

Hi!

It looks like you haven't set up west yet.

In Cloning the repositories, do steps 4, 5 and 6 to set ncs as a west workspace and your first fatal error should disappear.

Best regards,

Heidi

I have set up the west repository, just in the /home/rs/Downloads/ncs directory instead of the /zephyr directory above. How do I change that variable to update the path specifics?

Here is an updated error code after removing the other false directories.

Could you send me the full build folder so I can take a look at the error messages from CMake?

I believe you need to initialize the "nrf" directory (ncs/nrf) as the west workspace, not "ncs". 

[Heidi]

Hi, could you try updating to version 9-2019-q4-major of the GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain?

I see from the log you are using an older version.

That did seem to fix the issue! Thank you for your support!
