Erlang OpenLinux 2.2

[Dave Hill]

I have just installed Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 and I would like to try running
the full Open Source Erlang 47.4.1 distribution on it.
Has anyone succeeded in building a full working Erlang 47.4.1 system on
Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 ( or any other comparable linux kernel 2.2.x system )
? Have you any advice to impart ? Are there any pitfalls I should know about
? 

    All help gratefully received  - thanks in advance Dave Hill.
