[erlang-questions] Help with Dialyzer

[Guy Wiener]

I tried to build R13B04 from source on my Ubuntu, but I repeatedly
encountered error such as:

erlc -W  +debug_info
-I/home/gwiener/Download/Erlang/otp_src_R13B04/lib/stdlib +warn_unused_vars
-o../ebin asn1rt_ber_bin.erl
./asn1rt_ber_bin.erl:none: internal error in core_module;
crash reason:
{{case_clause,{{op,293,'bsr',{var,293,'Class'},{integer,293,6}},
                             []}},
               [{v3_core,'-constant_bin_1/1-anonymous-0-',2},
                {eval_bits,eval_field,3},
                {eval_bits,expr_grp,4},
                {v3_core,constant_bin_1,1},
                {v3_core,constant_bin,1},
                {v3_core,expr_bin,3},
                {v3_core,expr,2},
                {v3_core,exprs,2}]}
make[2]: *** [../ebin/asn1rt_ber_bin.beam] Error 1

Any ideas? The full spec is Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. The configuration script
showed no errors.

Thanks,
  Guy
