Compiling Erlang on Mac OS X Leopard from Scratch

You need XCode and libgd installed and then the following script should work pasted into a terminal window:

cd /tmp
curl http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_R12B-2.tar.gz | tar xz
cd otp_src_R12B-2
./configure --enable-smp-support --enable-hipe  --enable-darwin-universal
# If you see an ODBC warning don't sweat it
make
sudo make install
cd ..

    @art The commands above download and extract at the same time. Those commands work. I am not sure what you mean by your comment.
