[erlang-questions] Regd: Erlang

Wed Jan 11 21:54:35 CET 2012

Hi Preeti,

Try the same steps as Wes did - the missing dependencies need to be
installed first. He explicitly installs, for example, libwxbase2.8 and
other things that the configure script requires to be installed. If you
already have those dependencies installed (i.e., if you've already
installed unix-odbc somewhere), then you should pass the relevant option(s)
to configure so it knows where to find them. ./configure --help to see what
choices you have.

Do let us know how you get on - I'm going to upgrade a spare machine to
Ubuntu 11 some time soon and will check myself.
