Cannot install asdf erlang on MAC OSX Mojave

I am trying to install Erlang in a Mac OS system with Mojave on it. However the installation hangs for no apparent reason:

$ asdf install erlang 22.2.8
asdf_22.2.8 is not a kerl-managed Erlang/OTP installation
The asdf_22.2.8 build has been deleted
Extracting source code
Building Erlang/OTP 22.2.8 (asdf_22.2.8), please wait...

I know the issue is not the network, as I have downloaded everything and the step that hangs forever is the Building step.

I have removed and re-installed both asdf and Erlang from scratch as well, but it didn't fix the issue.

I believe I have all necessary dependencies as well, otherwise the re-installation would have failed.

What can I do to fix this?

Solution

  • Go to ~/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds/asdf_22.2.8 and look at the otp_build_22.2.8.log file. It should tell you what's going on.
