Okay, so reltool isn't working, did you build erlang from source or did you use some package?
If you used a package, you can try building from source, configure it to install somewhere outside of /usr/lib (by doing a --prefix=/usr/local/erlang-r15b01 or something in the ./configure step). Then make sure to add the path <installed location>/bin to your path before building. Or, try just installing the precise package we release, at least that way you know that erlang works correctly with Riak. $ wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.basho.com/riak/CURRENT/ubuntu/precise/riak_1.2.1-1_amd64.deb $ dpkg -i riak_1.2.1-1_amd64.deb The package would really be my recommendation. -Jared On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 12:07 PM, Kevin Burton <[email protected]>wrote: > By the way the build seems to work fine (make rel).
