Hi,

Thanks everybody for your answers.

In the mean time, I keeped reading, and I finded another way of compiling:
$ erl
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.3

Eshell V5.3.6.3  (abort with ^G)
1> c(test).
{ok,test}
2>

It even works with Erlang:
$ erl
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.3.6.3 [source] [hipe]

Eshell V5.3.6.3  (abort with ^G)
1> c(megaco_simple_mgc).
./megaco_simple_mgc.erl:30: Warning: behaviour megaco_user undefined
{ok,megaco_simple_mgc}
2>

Is this the standard way of running programs with Erlang? Or should I 
use erlc instead?

erlang/lib/megaco-2.1.3/include/megaco.hrl
Yes, I have it it my system.

Indeed... I made the test and it works also for me with erlc.

I'll retry adding megaco to the path.

Thanks again!
