Installing erlang on AWS Linux

[alam86]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the latest version of RabbitMQ (3.6.6) installed on an AWS Linux EC2 instance, using the instructions here:

https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-rpm.html

I get stuck on the 'Install Erlang' part. Looks like yum install just installs the R14 version of Erlang, whereas this version of RMQ needs at least R16B3.

I also tried using the 'Erlang Solutions' option, but while following the 'required repos' link on the 'Erlang Solutions' site, I end up on a page that says this project is dead! (RPM Forge).

Using the 'Zero Dependency' Erlang option, I can download the 19.2.3 version of the RPM package, but while installing it, I get the following error (for a few different dependencies):

erlang < R13B-04.5 is obsoleted by (installed) erlang-kernel-R14B-04.2.7.amzn1.x86_64

Using 'yum install erlang' just installs the R14B version.

Any idea around what I'm doing wrong here?

My Linux environment:

Linux ip-XX-XX-XX-XX 4.4.23-31.51.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Oct 11 17:10:29 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Simply uninstall all Erlang packages before installing the zero-dependency one.

Thanks Michael! I had tried uninstalling the older version of erlang but they were not getting cleaned up (using yum remove and deleting files from /usr/lib). In any case, created a fresh instance and that did the trick. Thanks!
