    text
    copied!<p>I'm a beginner with rebar and erlang generally. I was trying to create an erlang release with rebar according to this tutorial: <a href="http://www.metabrew.com/article/erlang-rebar-tutorial-generating-releases-upgrades" rel="noreferrer">http://www.metabrew.com/article/erlang-rebar-tutorial-generating-releases-upgrades</a> and got stuck at the point of running generated release.</p> <p>My system is Ubuntu 11.04 64bit, erlang R14B03, installed from sources.</p> <p>When i'm invoking 'bin/somenode console', I get one of the following errors:</p> <pre><code>Exec: /home/ghik/Inz/somerel/rel/somenode/erts-5.8.4/bin/erlexec -boot /home/ghik/Inz/somerel/rel/somenode/releases/1/somenode -mode embedded -config /home/ghik/Inz/somerel/rel/somenode/etc/app.config -args_file /home/ghik/Inz/somerel/rel/somenode/etc/vm.args -- console Root: /home/ghik/Inz/somerel/rel/somenode {"init terminating in do_boot",{'cannot load',hipe_amd64_encode,get_files}} Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump init terminating in do_boot () </code></pre> <p>Interestingly, each time I run it, different atom is listed instead of 'hipe_amd64_encode', for example: 'hipe_amd64_defuse', 'hipe_amd64_assemble', etc. I'm guessing erlang is unable to load hipe, but I have no idea why is is trying to load it in the first place. The release contains only one, very simple application dependent only on kernel and stdlib.</p> <p>For some reason, rebar generates a .rel file with lots of unnecessary applications:</p> <pre><code>%% rel generated at {2011,9,6} {20,5,48} {release,{"somenode","1"}, {erts,"5.8.4"}, [{kernel,"2.14.4"}, {stdlib,"1.17.4"}, {sasl,"2.1.9.4"}, {someapp,"1"}, {compiler,"4.7.4",load}, {crypto,"2.0.3",load}, {et,"1.4.3",load}, {gs,"1.5.13",load}, {hipe,"3.8",load}, {inets,"5.6",load}, {mnesia,"4.4.19",load}, {observer,"0.9.9",load}, {public_key,"0.12",load}, {runtime_tools,"1.8.5",load}, {ssl,"4.1.5",load}, {syntax_tools,"1.6.7.1",load}, {tools,"2.6.6.4",load}, {webtool,"0.8.8",load}, {wx,"0.98.10",load}]}. </code></pre> <p>Why does rebar list soo many applications in the .rel file? And event if it's fine, why doesn't the release start?</p>
