I am trying to install/setup Ejabberd on an Amazon EC2 server. After installing all of the support libraries/programs, I enter in the following command:
"sudo ejabberdctl start"
and I get the following response back:
"/sbin/ejabberdctl: lint 356: epmd: command not found"

I have been searching the web for a solution, but all I can find is documentation on what epmd is/does. I made this same post at the ejabberd.im forums, but since then have found that epmd is Erlang/OTP related, so I am posting this here.

After getting a clean setup on the server, I followed the following installation "path":
01.) Installed: gcc, make, gcc-c++ (all versions = latest Amazon repository version)

02.) Installed: zlip 1.2.3

03.) Checked for Openssl and Openssl-devel -- Openssl version > 0.9.8 (forget exact version, I can get it if needed)

04.) Installed: missing Openssl-devel (version = latest Amazon repository version)

05.) Installed: Expat 2.1.0

06.) Installed: ncurses-devel (version = latest Amazon repository version)

07.) Installed: Erlang (14B01 first, then R15B01)

08.) Installed: autoconf, automake, libtool (all versions = latest Amazon repository version)

09.) Installed: EXMPP (version = latest under mainline git link) -- After downloading via git, I had to
Code:
autoreconf -i
in order to
Code:
./configure

10.) Installed: Ejabberd 2.1.11 -- After downloading via git, I had to execute
Code:
aclocal
and
Code:
autoconf
in order to
Code:
./configure

I first installed Erlang V14B01 because it was the recommended version noted in Ejabberd. However, when I got the "epmd: command not found" error, I reset and installed V15B01 as I had success with this version when trying to setup Ejabberd on my local machine. With the newer Erlang version, I still get the same error.

Any help would be appreciated. Please let me know if you need any additional information from me.


Thanks,
