This may not be the best forum for this, but how can you force erlang to compile in 32bit? The configuration line: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/couchdb/apache-couchdb-0.9.0/erlang-32bit/ --enable-64bit-libs=no --disable-64bit --disable-m64-build produces this (after make, etc..) bash-3.00$ ./erl Erlang R13B01 (erts-5.7.2) [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [rq:8] [async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] thanks, Andrew > Fortunately, Erlang is pretty easy to compile into a temporary directory, and > it's easy to get a temporary CouchDB installation running against this.
