I have updated and placed a new version up on the google code site. Here is the link: http://faxien.googlecode.com/files/faxien-piggyback-launcher-V2.sh
This launcher wants either 1 or 2 arguments. If one argument it is the location you wish to install faxien, this location must contain the appropriate erts runtime. For example after having installed erlang into /usr/local/lib/erlang you could run sh faxien-piggyback-launcher-V2.sh /usr/local/lib/erlang The two argument for is for when you want to install faxien into a location other than where you have previously installed Erlang. So, after having installed Erlang into /usr/local/lib/erlang but desiring to install faxien and all subsequent packages into $HOME/erlware you could run sh faxien-piggyback-launcher-V2.sh $HOME/erlware /usr/local/lib/erlang Where the second argument is the place the launcher uses to find the appropriate pre-built erlang runtime on your machine. Please let me know if there are problems. I have tested on Mac and i686 Linux and all seems to work well for the basic use cases.
