[Buildroot] Connection refused error

[Shaikat Hossain]

I am receiving the following error when I run make on the Erpiam project I
am building from Github:

Can anyone advise on what may be the cause/solutions to this problem? I'm
kind of stuck on this right now.

Does a simple "wget
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/expat/expat/2.2.5/expat-2.2.5.tar.bz2"
work for you?

Maybe you have a firewall issue?

You probably have some wrong http_proxy variable: it tries to connect
to 127.0.0.1 (i.e localhost) on port 8080. This seems to have nothing to
do with Buildroot, but rather with a broken wget configuration on your
system.

Best regards,

Thomas

You seem to have a proxy configured for 127.0.0.1:8080 but it isn't
working. Either fix that or remove the proxy configuration (probably an
http_proxy / https_proxy environment variable).
