Error building rabbitmq server

I am building rabbitmq server on ubuntu (2.6.35-28-generic-pae #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 20:43:15 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux)

I am using erlang OPT version otp_src_R14B03. I get following error while building

erlc -I include -o ebin -Wall -v +debug_info -Duse_specs -pa ebin src/rabbit_networking.erl src/rabbit_networking.erl:49: type hostname() undefined **src/rabbit_networking.erl:71: type ip_port() undefined**

Has anyone seen this kind of error before? any thoughts on how to fix this.

Thanks

Solution

  • Unfortunately Erlang R14B03 changed some specs in an incompatible way. So you can't compile RabbitMQ 2.4.1 against Erlang R14B03 without disabling specs (should be harmless, it's more for development).

    Options:

    • Use Erlang R14B02
    • Use RabbitMQ from Mercurial default, where this is fixed
    • Compile with "make USE_SPECS=false"

    We'll probably push out a new release soon, this is biting a few people.

    Edited to add: you may not be aware of our apt repository: http://www.rabbitmq.com/debian.html (works on Ubuntu too). That may be a simpler solution for you.
