Is it possible to get rpm not to depend on a full GUI erlang install? This is likely what pulls in most of the X11* related stuff. This is standard/possible on debian etc but I don't know how the split is done for redhat-alike distros. Alternatively, if you're in the Aviation industry consider rolling your own release with this erlang https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads/download-erlang-otp and the spidermonkey from http://bigcouch.cloudant.com/use .
