Attempting to test msgpack as dependency in a simple release package using rebar in Erlang / OTP.

My folder structure is as follows

Project -> Apps -> myapp -> ebin -> src

            -> deps -> msgpack (folder)

            -> rebar (exe)

            -> rebar config

            -> rel -> reltool.config
                   -> files (folder)
                   -> mynode (folder)

Code snippet of the function & its handle_call:

num_pokes() ->
    gen_server:call(?MODULE, num_pokes).

handle_call(num_pokes, _From, State = #state{ num_pokes = PokeCount }) ->
        MP = msgpack:pack(PokeCount),
        io:format (" Message is packed : ~p~n", MP),
        MuP = msgpack:unpack_stream(MP),
        io:format (" Message is now UNpacked : ~p~n", MuP),
        io:format (" Pokecount : ~p~n", PokeCount),
    {reply, PokeCount, State};

Error showing: when num_pokes() is called

Pass -pa deps/msgpack/ebin to erl as command-line arguments. Then it will find the compiled modules.

Folder structure pointing towards mspack was shown by me as ./deps (dependencies folder). It should be ./deps/msgpack
