[erlang-questions] First Erlang experiences- not so good

[Roger Critchlow]

When I compile your example.erl on Linux, I get:

rec@REDACTED:~/erlang$ erlc ~/Desktop/example.erl
/home/rec-ubuntu/Desktop/example.erl:1: syntax error before: '-'
/home/rec-ubuntu/Desktop/example.erl:2: syntax error before: p
/home/rec-ubuntu/Desktop/example.erl:4: syntax error before: a
/home/rec-ubuntu/Desktop/example.erl:7: syntax error before: a
/home/rec-ubuntu/Desktop/example.erl:9: syntax error before: a
/home/rec-ubuntu/Desktop/example.erl:10: no module definition

which are exactly the same errors that you get when you compiled it on
Windows.

So the Linux version of Erlang has the same sensitivity to encodings as the
Windows version.
