gettext fails to compile in Phoenix 1.1.0 installation about gettext HOT 14 CLOSED

Just to add to this, I actually followed the instructions at http://elixir-lang.org/install.html as well but on my ubuntu 14.04 install I needed to also do:

sudo apt-get install erlang-parsetools
sudo apt-get install erlang-dev

Not sure if I even need erlang-parsetools but that was the ordered I did and seemed to work smoothly after that.

@josevalim I install elixir follow http://elixir-lang.org/install.html

sudo apt-get install erlang can solve the problem

from gettext.

@cedricgc
wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install erlang
in my aws EC2(ubuntu) it work

from gettext.

I suggest for the ubuntu and debian instructions on http://elixir-lang.org/install.html have another line explicitly downloading erlang through apt-get after apt-get install elixir

from gettext.

The problem also happen on my server when i upgrade phoenix 1.1

from gettext.

How did you install Erlang? You are missing the Erlang parser or Erlang
parser tools package.

You are likely missing the Erlang-parsetools package. Some distributions break Erlang into multiple Packages so you need to install them manually. Elixir v1.2 will include a better error message.

Did it solve the problem or this is how it was installed? :)

I too followed the instructions on the official website for the Ubuntu box. I think the erlang bundled with the elixir install does not have the required packages. I will try again when I get back home and report results.

from gettext.

Following @zhangsoledad instructions resolved the issue. I think the erlang shipped with elixir needs to be updated with these libraries or have Ubuntu and Debian boxes explicitly apt-get install erlang as well as elixir in the download instructions.

from gettext.

That's the problem, the default erlang in ubuntu and debian installs is broken into multiple packages. There is nothing we can do about it, I think it was already asked multiple times for them to not do that.

@battlemidget thanks

from gettext.

I've been trying to get this all running on cloud9, so I can work with students and help them play around with elixir & phoenix, and I was stuck with this gettext issue.
Thanks for the tip on
sudo apt-get install erlang-dev
that solved my problem
(for whatever reason erlang-parsetools would not install everything)

from gettext.

@jmccaffrey erlange-parsetools probably didn't depend on erlang-dev
