if you can send me installation steps on ubuntu this will be more helpful... thank you

[cromain]

this error only appears when compiling with 18. using 17.5 works fine for me.

[hassanzreik]

the first post i was using erlang 17.5 @cromain

[cromain]

i guess you did not called 'make distclean'

• run make distclean, rm configure
• install OTP 17.5
• autogen.sh
• configure && make

[hassanzreik]

thank you @cromain for helping me
i run make distclean in ejabberd folder i got the bellow message

root@ubuntu:~/ejabberd# make distclean
rm -rf deps/.got
rm -rf deps/.built
rm -rf test/*.beam

[cromain]

this is because you configured ejabberd with 17, and run distclean with 18 or the reverse.
if you have 17.5 installed, just remove ejabberd sources and start from a clean build environement.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is happening every install erlang that I have tried, I have tried R15, OTP17.1, OTP17.5, 18.1, every erlang version is giving the same issue. Can anyone help here ?

Locate your erl bin directory, and create a symlink in /usr/local/bin

[mohit3081989]

Won't solve anything, 18.0 worked after lots of hit and trail on Erlang
versions
