Error

asdf install erlang latest fails with:

It appears that the File has no extension: error looking for kernel is in the last directory the installation entered (eg. start_scripts).

Env Vars

My environment variables are (also exclude megaco as it kept failing the installation):

export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--with-ssl=$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1) --with-odbc=$(brew --prefix unixodbc) --without-megaco"
export CC="/usr/bin/clang -I$(brew --prefix unixodbc)/include"
export LDFLAGS=-L$(brew --prefix unixodbc)/lib

Homebrew

I can recreate the same kind of error with a homebrew erlang version too, and the error message also reflects the current directory I'm in:
$(brew --prefix erlang@24)/lib/erlang/bin/erlc -v

File has no extension: /kernel

I do have kernel.{beam,app,appup} files in:

  • /opt/homebrew/Cellar/erlang@24/24.3.4.6/lib/erlang/lib/kernel-8.3.2.2/ebin/kernel.*
  • /opt/homebrew/Cellar/erlang@24/24.3.4.6/lib/erlang/lib/kernel-8.3.2.2/src/kernel.*

Error Message

Not that it matters, it the error message may come from: https://github.com/blackberry/Erlang-OTP/blob/master/lib/stdlib/src/erl_compile.erl#L183

Not sure why, but the problems seems to be:
env | grep kernel

ERL_AFLAGS=kernel shell_history enabled

Removing this env. var. fixes the error. But why doesn't it work on macOS Ventura anymore?

And why did I need --without-megaco?

esambo commented

It works just fine if I use the correct syntax of:

export ERL_AFLAGS="-kernel shell_history enabled"
