This post lists an error I got while following the instructions for "Installing the meta-example layer on your host" listed on the "PetaLinux Yocto Tips" at http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/PetaLinux+Yocto+Tips.
TL;DR
The "Installing the meta-example layer on your host" instructions listed on the "PetaLinux Yocto Tips" at http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/PetaLinux+Yocto+Tips as of Mar 24 2018 @ 9:18 AM (MDT) did not work for me with PetaLinux 2017.4.
In addition, the wiki's instructions conflict with an advisement given in a file the wiki says to edit.
Steps
1. Clone the repo:
2. Edit bblayers.conf:
3. Add the path to meta-example:
4. Source the PetaLinux Tools environment and build bbexample:
5. Got the following error:

6. Looked at build/conf/bblayers.conf and found that it had been regenerated as it warned at the top of the file:
