[erlang-questions] Erlang4android issue on Nexus

[Paul Barry]

Hi Erik.

Thanks for your reply.

When I try to run the Erlang shell from the sl4a menu, I get the same
error: Erlang/OTP exited.

I downloaded a file manager to take a look around the filesystem.... The
com.ernovation.erlangforandroid folder does not live in /data/data/, but in
/storage/emulated/11/, and it contains only a single file: the ZIP of the
Erlang download. This is in spite of the installer telling me that the
downloaded file was extracted.  When I manually unzip it, it makes no
difference... I get the same error message.  Also I can't manually run
"erl" as the exec-bit is not set. :-(

Not sure what to try next, but I really don't want to root this thing (my
kids would kill me for wiping their data).

Any suggestions?

Paul.
