I met the same issue even I'm using recommended Ubuntu 12.04.
Before I add the edison source to my local git, it works well besides known libwebsockets issue.
After I commit the eidson source to my local git, I start to meet the error message shown in the original post.
After I digging into it, I've found the root cause.
It is because there're some patching commands in setup.sh using git apply.
Before I add the source to my local git, these git apply works well. After adding the source to the git, these commands fail to do the patch but exit without any error message.
I replace them using patch command, then everything back to normal.
Hope this can help you guys.
