FreeBSD ./start.sh fails

[dksayers]

I am using a FreeBSD 7.3 OS.

After retrieving alice I run a ./start.sh and get the following :

(cd ebin; erl -pa -pa ebin -noshell -run make_boot write_scripts alice)
{"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{make_boot,write_scripts,[["alice"]]},{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}}

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot ()
*** Error code 1

Stop in /home/daryl/public_html/alice.
{"init terminating in do_boot",{'cannot get bootfile','alice.boot'}}

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump

init terminating in do_boot ()

If I then just run the 'make boot' command I still get the error:
(cd ebin; erl -pa -pa ebin -noshell -run make_boot write_scripts alice)
{"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{make_boot,write_scripts,[["alice"]]},{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}}

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot ()
*** Error code 1

rabbitmq is running and operational so I am unsure as to what the problem is??

did you type make first?

make

No, but when I did I found there to be several errors.
"../support/include.mk", line 13: Need an operator
"../support/include.mk", line 15: Need an operator
"../support/include.mk", line 17: Need an operator
"../support/include.mk", line 19: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
*** Error code 1

I created an alias to use gmake instead and it all seems to work now. Thanks for the pointer.

GOOD ADVICE, I'm on FreeBSD 8.0, and having identiacal problem with mochiweb:

root@dnsfreebsd:~/mochiweb []# make
(cd src;make all)
"../support/include.mk", line 13: Need an operator
"../support/include.mk", line 15: Need an operator
"../support/include.mk", line 17: Need an operator
"../support/include.mk", line 19: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
*** Error code 1

Stop in /root/mochiweb.

This saved me:

root@dnsfreebsd:~/mochiweb []# gmake
(cd src;gmake all)
