Installing RabbitMQ? about evm

[robisonsantos]

Since you are using .deb to install RabbitMQ, it may be looking for libs in the wrong place (system's /usr/lib) or some other standard location. EVM installs erlang in your home directory (/home/.evm). You might need to point your installation path to .deb somehow. I'd try setting up LD_LIBRARY_PATH and trying again. I didn't test it yet but can try it soon, just maybe not today.

If I download the .deb package for rabbitmq-server, it seems to have issues recognizing the fact that erlang is installed - just not through apt-get. Specifically, it seems to not have the following "satisfiable dependencies": erlang-nox >= 1:19.3 and esl-erlang >= 1:19.3 Any guidance would be appreciated! — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Just looked at the RabbitMQ page and some other pages. The erlang-nox (Erlang No X) is a meta/dummy package that install all parts of erlang that does not require 'X' (https://packages.debian.org/sid/erlang-nox)

esl-erlang is also a meta package which "is a file containg the complete installation: it includes the Erlang/OTP platform and all of its applications. The erlang package is a frontend to a number of smaller packages. Currently we support both erlang and esl-erlang." (https://www.erlang-solutions.com/resources/download.html)

Those are dependencies of the .deb file - https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html - but because evm builds and installs an erlang from tarball, you won't have those.

I think the best alternative when using EVM would be to follow this: https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-generic-unix.html
