I have followed the steps from this link: http://www.erlang.org/doc/installation_guide/INSTALL.html

But when I try to run 'make' I get an error saying

Makefile:247 .... no such file or directory
make: ***no rule to make target

Here is the same question but without an accepted answer. problems installing Erlang/OTP

  • 1. Consider installing from repository 2. Can you describe more precise what steps you perform and what error you get (with context) 3. Does your configure step complete successfully? – Lol4t0 Apr 21 '15 at 20:17
  • I unpack the zip and set the two variables (ERL_TOP and LANG) then generate the confrigure scripts. After that I run ./configure. All that completes successfully but then I run make and I get the output that is written above. – user2472368 Apr 21 '15 at 20:29
  • Does it actually print you `...` and not some path in `Makefile:247 .... no such file or directory`? – Lol4t0 Apr 21 '15 at 20:31
  • Also what system you are building on? – Lol4t0 Apr 21 '15 at 20:31
  • Yes, the path is where the ... are. It goes like this: /home/mininet/otp_src_17.5./make/i686-pc-linux-gnu/otp_ded.mk I am running Mininet/Ubuntu VM. – user2472368 Apr 21 '15 at 20:36
  • On ubuntu just install from repository as sugested in the linked answer – Lol4t0 Apr 21 '15 at 20:50

  • I have tried it just now. I get the same error. And also when running ./configure it says: `configure: error: No curses library functions found configure: error: /bin/bash '/home/mininet/Downloads/otp_src_R15B03/erts/configure' failed for erts` – user2472368 Apr 21 '15 at 22:57
  • can you tell your operating system / version ? people cannot guess what operating system you have so they cannot offer any help – rorra Apr 22 '15 at 01:25
  • @user2472368 You need to install curses library, i.e. libncurses5-dev or add --without-termcap to ./configure command – igor Apr 22 '15 at 15:17
