rebar: error exit on create-app: {crypto,start,[]}

Question

I followed the instructions here, to the letter. I then ran the instruction to create an application project structure, and got the following error.

$ ./reba         


        

Answer 1

It looks like your Erlang was compiled without OpenSSL (the crypto module). crypto is required for many (most?) Erlang applications. You'll need to get a version of Erlang with a working crypto module, and then you shouldn't have any problems like this.
