Not being familiar with CEAN I don't really know why, but the error report
indicates that the function compile:file/2 is undefined, the 'undef ' error.
In this case this is caused by Erlang not being able to find the compile
module as we know the file/2 function exists in the module.

As I said I am not familiar with CEAN so I can't help you with *why* Erlang
can't find the module.
