I tried to install LFE on my Ubuntu system using Homebrew. I am bewildered at all the dependencies installed, it's almost like a whole new OS. It includes Python, XOrg, libpciaccess, and much much much more. And I am not even 100% sure how much more either b/c It finally died trying to patch gdk/quartz/gdkimage-quartz.c from the GTK+ package with https://bug557780.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi.

Is this really right?

That doesn't sound right and I didn't know there was a Homebrew for Ubuntu. Have you tried installing Erlang 19.x (e.g. via kerl) and then building LFE 1.2.0 from source?
