[erlang-questions] Regd: Erlang

[Tim Watson]

Hi Preeti,

I quite understand. Magnus has replied with a link to some pre-packaged
distributions - I'd completely forgotten about those - and they're probably
the best way to go.

Installing Erlang on Ubuntu should just be a matter of running the
apt/aptitude commands. Compiling from source involves grabbing the download
from the erlang.org website and running `./configure && make && make
install` with some --options passed to configure. If you still want to
build/install using apt or from sources, please reply with the following
information so we can help:

- what ubuntu version are you installing onto
- what command(s) you are running to build/install
- what output and/or error messages are you getting

With these details, I'm sure we'll be able to help!

Cheers,

Tim
