Erlang installation problems

[Eric Merritt]

Emil,

 You are using redhat 8.0 arn't you? In the latest
version of redhat they changed the LANG environment
variable. This screwed up perl in allot of places. You
can fix this by doing one of serveral things. The
easiest is simply to export LANG=c before you
configure. You may also set the LANG var in your
/etc/profile or your personal .bashrc. However, since
erlang only depends on this in the build phase I would
say simple export that at the shell before you
configure and build.
