Hi Chris,
Thank you very much :-)
But it was no good. I still get the same error even with the "install" use.
Here I attach the full recipe just in case I did wrong somewhere:
SUMMARY = "Create /usr/local"
SECTION = "meta-networking"
LICENSE = "MIT"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM =
"file://${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR}/MIT;md5=0835ade698e0bcf8506ecda2f7b4f302"
#INSANE_SKIP_${PN} = "installed-vs-shipped"
do_install(){
install -d ${D}${prefix}/local/
}
