{app_would_not_start,asn1} is pretty telling. try 'erl' then "application:start(asn1)." and see what error you get. If it's a not_started for some other app, try starting that one. You'll probably do this a few times before finding the thing that fails to start. Likely, it will be one that requires zlib or libssl or something.
