I am using Ubuntu Hardy, but with the Erlang packages from Intrepid, using the instructions at http://wiki.reia-lang.org/wiki/Installing_Erlang_on_Ubuntu Just make a temporary change to your /etc/apt/sources.list, install Erlang, then apt-get install the packages, then put it back again. Here's what I have: $ dpkg-query -l | grep erlang ii erlang 1:12.b.3-dfsg-1ubuntu1 Concurrent, real-time, distributed functiona ii erlang-base 1:12.b.3-dfsg-1ubuntu1 Concurrent, real-time, distributed functiona ii erlang-dev 1:12.b.3-dfsg-1ubuntu1 Concurrent, real-time, distributed functiona ii erlang-doc-html 1:12.b.3-dfsg-1 Erlang HTML pages ii erlang-manpages 1:12.b.3-1 Erlang man pages ii erlang-nox 1:12.b.3-dfsg-1ubuntu1 Concurrent, real-time, distributed functiona ii erlang-x11 1:12.b.3-dfsg-1ubuntu1 Concurrent, real-time, distributed functiona Cheers, Brian.
