Compiling Erlang R12B on Ubuntu

4th of May 2008

Posting purely because I forget the dependencies every time and waste time finding them. This works from a clean install of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) for me : 

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses-dev libssl-dev m4 
tk tcl gcj

Then head along to the erlang download site and grab the R12B source and do the usual 

$./configure 
$ make 
$ sudo make install
