Nils Breunese commented on COUCHDB-162:
---------------------------------------
I ran into ./configure not being able to find erl_driver.h on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.3 x86_64 (erlang package installed from the EPEL
repository). I thought maybe it was because of the 64-bitness of this system,
but maybe it was because of this issue.
Anyway, this worked:
./configure --with-erlang=/usr/lib64/erlang/usr/include
> improve configure script's ability to find erl_driver.h

> Hi, if I configure and install Erlang with a custom --prefix=/path/to/erlang,
> CouchDB's configure script finds `erl` and `erlc` from the environment, but
> it usually needs to be told about the location or erl_driver.h:
> ./configure --with-erlang=/path/to/erlang/lib/erlang/usr/include
> It'd be nice if the configure script could check that location automatically,
> e.g. determining /path/to/erlang by stripping bin/erl off the path to `erl`
> that it found earlier.
> Alternatively, I think --with-erlang ought to be modified to take the path to
> the base of the Erlang installation, rather than the exact path to the
> location of the folder containing erl_driver.h. Best,
> Adam
