Asdf-erlang: Unable to compile 21.1 with wx on Debian stretch

[lpil]

I've installed all the packages listed in the README (and a few other for good measure) yet I am still unable to compile with wx support. (Though libpng3 isn't available so I installed everything with the libpng prefix)

For building with wxWidgets (start observer or debugger!) apt-get -y install libwxgtk3.0-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libpng3

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION (See: /home/louispilfold/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds/asdf_21.1/otp_build_21.1.log)
 * wx             : wxWidgets not found, wx will NOT be usable

Is there a way to determine what package I'm missing?

This looks similar to #90. You'll probably get this solved faster over at https://github.com/kerl/kerl.

Maybe related to https://github.com/kerl/kerl/issues/279#issuecomment-386664790?

on ubuntu 18.04 got error above

memory leak cause this problem, so after I added 4 GB of swap space, it builds without any problem, it was happened on Digital Ocean droplet 1vcpu 2gb

@lpil Wondering what you know about libpng3 not existing. I'm on Ubuntu 18.10 and get E: Unable to locate package when trying to install it per asdf-erlang's README. Can't find much on it. Did see a libpng at version 1.6.36. Does that work instead of libpng3 maybe? Sorta fumbling in the dark here.

Second this!
A 2GB Digital Ocean droplet running on Ubuntu 18.04 produced the exact same error message. Had to resize the droplet to 4GB and voila, works just fine.

I find some tutorials out there misleading as they explicitly mention 1GB or 2GB droplets.
Also, I didn't know (and was quite surprised) that compiling erlang takes about 10 min.

Thanks a lot to @jerko-culina for his update!

Closing since it I do not believe there are any bugs in asdf-erlang contributing to these problems.
