[erlang-questions] Install Erlang/OTP on SUSE 11

[Alpár Jüttner]

Hi,

There are two issues to be solved for installing erlang on openSuse 11.

     1. The wrong gcc version. Probably the easiest solution is to add
        the GCC software repository
        (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel%3a/tools%
        3a/gcc/openSUSE_11.0) to the package manager and upgrade your
        compiler.
     2. Too new glibc version. This is a silly mistake in the erlang
        source. To  solve it you must change a single line in it. See
        e.g. this:
        http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2008-July/036380.html

Best regards,
Alpar
