Unable to configure and make scalaris on RHEM

[Kunal Balani]

Hello everyone,
I want to install scalaris on an RHEM machine but I am unable to
install it .
when I execute ./configure it shows me the following error :

make: *** [compile] Error 1

Erlang version is
Erlang R14B03 (erts-5.8.4) [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [rq:8] [async-
threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

I have the compatible version of erlang but still i shows that there
is some issue with the erlang ...
Any suggestions or comments is highly appreciated.

Thank You.

Looks like yaws (the embedded web server we use) needs erlang-xmerl.
Please install this package. EPEL has erlang libraries for RHEL; we also
publish them in our repositories at
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/scalaris/

This is where you can also find packages for the latest stable version and a
recent svn trunk snapshot.

Regards,
Nico

a complete list of required erlang sub-packages on RHEL:

erlang-erts, erlang-kernel, erlang-stdlib, erlang-compiler, erlang-crypto,
erlang-tools, erlang-inets, erlang-ssl, erlang-xmerl

if you want to create the docs, erlang-edoc is also required
if you want to run the unit tests, erlang-common_test is also required
