Well I dindn’t expect this. If you are trying to compiler Erlang on this OS, this might save you some time.

If you get the the following error sequence:

then the easy solution to overcome it is to build Erlang with :

Another issue:

The only solution that I found was at http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bugs/2007/11/11/msg025712.htm.

Basically you have to run config & gmake.
