ERROR: OTP release 18 does not match required regex R16|17?

I have installed and running erlang and otp v17: [{release,"Erlang/OTP","17","6.4",...

I have OpenSSl installed (1.0.1f)

I did install all other required dependencies needed to install riak.

Cant seem to find solution to this. Please Help!!

This means that somehow you're running Erlang/OTP 18, while Riak supports only versions 16 and 17. `which erl` should tell you what Erlang installation is first in the path. — legoscia, Jun 26 '15 at 12:56
If you run it from the shell without arguments, it should say something like `Erlang/OTP 17` in the first line of output. — legoscia, Jun 26 '15 at 13:35
no, i only get that path. could that indicate some kind of problem in erlang install? — superjaakko, Jun 26 '15 at 13:45
Running it means running `/usr/local/bin/erl`, that will give you a shell and print the version as legoscia pointed out — Samuel Rivas, Jun 28 '15 at 19:42

The problem resides in riak/rebar.config file. There is a regex comparing the OTP with R16, but it seems that after OTP 17 the "R" character got discarded.

Editing rebar.config before make rel is enough.

Tested with riak-2.0.6

I changed it to

{require_otp_vsn, "R16|17|21"}.

But another failure

Compiling /Users/yuanwen/git/riak-2.2.3/deps/cluster_info/src/cluster_info_basic.erl failed: /Users/yuanwen/git/riak-2.2.3/deps/cluster_info/src/cluster_info_basic.erl:81: erlang:get_stacktrace/0: deprecated; use the new try/catch syntax for retrieving the stack backtrace /Users/yuanwen/git/riak-2.2.3/deps/cluster_info/src/cluster_info_basic.erl:171: erlang:get_stacktrace/0: deprecated; use the new try/catch syntax for retrieving the stack backtrace

occured!

So still need to install Erlang/OTP 17 instead of the latest version
