Unable to install erlang on cent os

Question

While installing erlang on cent os I got the following error

Error: Package: erlang-crypto-R16B03-0.2.el6.x86_64 (erlang-solutions)

Requires: libcrypto.so.10(libcrypto.so.10)(64bit)

Error: Package: erlang-crypto-R16B03-0.2.el6.x86_64 (erlang-solutions)

Requires: libcrypto.so.10(OPENSSL_1.0.1)(64bit)

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I searched around on google and found that the probelm can be solved by installing openssl-devl. So I did that and tried installing erlang again but got the same error.

How can I install the latest version of erlang on cent os 6.4?

Answer 1

How you are installing it? According to Riak's documentation, you use:

sudo yum install gcc glibc-devel make ncurses-devel openssl-devel autoconf

And then, you build Erlang:

wget http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_R15B01.tar.gz
tar zxvf otp_src_R15B01.tar.gz
cd otp_src_R15B01
./configure && make && sudo make install

Installing Erlang on GNU/Linux
