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

Getting this error when running make command:

root@hs:/var/www/html/ejabberd-master# make
rm -rf deps/.got
rm -rf deps/.built
/usr/local/lib/erlang/bin/escript rebar get-deps && :> deps/.got
Uncaught error in rebar_core: {'EXIT',
                           {undef,
                            [{crypto,start,[],[]},
                             {rebar,run_aux,2,
                              [{file,"src/rebar.erl"},{line,163}]},
                             {rebar,main,1,
                              [{file,"src/rebar.erl"},{line,58}]},
                             {escript,run,2,
                              [{file,"escript.erl"},{line,757}]},
                             {escript,start,1,
                              [{file,"escript.erl"},{line,277}]},
                             {init,start_it,1,[]},
                             {init,start_em,1,[]}]}}
make: *** [deps/.got] Error 1

The erlang details are:

root@hs:/home/node# erl
Erlang/OTP 18 [erts-7.0] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [async-    threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V7.0  (abort with ^G)
1> crypto:start()
1> 

Seems like crypto not working, as the command gives "Ok" or "exception error".

Help needed.
