Erro on make install - Ubuntu

[victorlcampos]

Hi guys,
I'm trying to install this and I'm getting this error:

root@visagio:/usr/local/src/erlang-history# make install
erl -make
{"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{make,all,[],[]},{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]}]}}
make: *** [compile] User defined signal 2
root@visagio:/usr/local/src/erlang-history#

Could you help me?
I'm using ubuntu 14.2

You are probably missing development packages and only using runtime ones. Try looking for source/dev packages.

But, do you know what is the dependencies?

[ferd]

No, I do not run Ubuntu. I do know however that the canonical packages for Erlang are always the smallest thing that can run pre-compiled packages and software. As such, they tend to avoid putting in stuff like eunit or other development-related libraries in Erlang. It's my guess that the make module, part of the tool library, isn't included in the default packages.

Look for 'erlang-dev' or something like that.

erlang-dev is already the newest version.

Then I don't know, but your install is to blame. The make module: http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/make.html is part of the standard distribution. The error you showed, {undef,[{make,all,[],[]},{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]}]}} is telling you that it cannot be found. This problem isn't with this library, but I can't help further as I do not know what your setup is.

I had the same problem on Ubuntu. It seems that I never installed erlang directly, only elixir via a ppa, which has dependencies to some but not all erlang packages.

Just installing erlang helped.

sudo apt-get install erlang
