[erlang-questions] Question on Diagraph module

[Bengt Kleberg]

Greeteings,

Presumably you are getting the error because G is gone.

I have never used digraphs but the manual page
(http://erlang.org/doc/man/digraph.html) says:

"The digraph will, however, be deleted if the process that created the
digraph terminates."

Your shell process, that created G, has just crashed.
