Hi Franco,

did u run  ./otp_build autoconf  before ./configure ?
You need to install autoconf to use it:

apt-get install autoconf 

I did:

./otp_build autoconf
./configure 
make 

and got compilation errors in beam/erl_bif_ddll.c :


beam/erl_bif_ddll.c: In function 'erl_ddll_info_2':
beam/erl_bif_ddll.c:833: error: 'de' undeclared (first use in this function)
beam/erl_bif_ddll.c:833: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only
once
beam/erl_bif_ddll.c:833: error: for each function it appears in.)
beam/erl_bif_ddll.c: In function 'do_unload_driver_entry':
beam/erl_bif_ddll.c:1790: error: 'erts_driver_t' has no member named 'drv'
beam/erl_bif_ddll.c:1791: error: 'erts_driver_t' has no member named 'drv'

Thanks,
