<p class=MsoNormal>I am trying to compile OTP R12B on a 64-bit Suse Linux
virtual machine (VMWare). Somewhere in the HIPE compilation erlc crashes with a
problem in the OS high resolution timer. Running make again (and again) finally
compiles all the files. There seems to be a timing problem somewhere that
people also reported when starting “cean erlang”, that may be
related. I have not found a solution to the problem other than trying again. It
finally works but doesn’t inspire confidence. <o:p></o:p></p>
