I got erlang from a package. How do I build from source? Once it is built how do I install it so that the instructions in the documentation work. The 'wget' and 'dpkg' lines that you call out are a direct quote from the documentation and that is what I followed. I installed the Riak package without error but since you had some doubts about the version of Ubuntu that I was using I tried building from the source and got these errors. If I have to skip building from the source then how do I substitute 'make devrel'?

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 <rkevinbur...@charter.net> wrote: By the way the build seems to work fine (make rel). Just a few warnings. But there is no indication of an error until the erlang generate error detailed below.

If you can run 'make' and put the output in a gist or pastebin for me I can try and take a look at it. Are you building from an untarred source tarball of Riak 1.2.1, or cloning from Github? Also, if you haven't already looked at it, these instructions are the best ones to follow when building from source http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/tutorials/installation/Installing-Riak-fro m-Source/ -Jared On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 11:46 AM, Kevin Burton <rkevinbur...@charter.net> wrote: I get Erlang R15B01 (erts-5.9.1) [source] [64bit] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false] EShell V5.9.1 (abort with ^G) In the case of make devrel it is definitely skipping something as the dev directory is completely empty.

That particular error I have never seen.

I haven't confirmed that the Precise Riak package will work on Quantal, but I suspect it will be fine. In version mismatches most issues you'll find will be on install with dependencies. If this is something you will rely on for a business in a production sense, I'd recommend using a LTS release like Precise (12.04) instead and know that we tested Riak on that platform. If this is for development purposes, you will likely be fine on 12.10. If something complains on install with dependencies please let me know so I can respond differently the next time this comes up on the mailing list. -Jared On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 10:44 AM, Kevin Burton <rkevinbur...@charter.net> wrote: I can do a lsb_release -a and I get: Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 Codename: quantal From: Jared Morrow [mailto:ja...@basho.com] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2012 11:42 AM To: Kevin Burton Cc: riak-users@lists.basho.com Subject: Re: Riak installation on Ubuntu Server Kevin As far as I know, the lsb_release tool is installed by default on all Ubuntu installs. You can use it to get the codename of the release like: For Ubuntu 10.04 $ lsb_release -c Codename: lucid or Ubuntu 12.04 $ lsb_release -c Codename: precise You can also get the information from the /etc/lsb-release file directly. % cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS" Hope that helps, Jared On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 10:26 AM, Kevin Burton <rkevinbur...@charter.net> wrote: I was looking at the options of installing Riak and there are several options under Ubuntu: Lucid, Natty, and Precise.
