Asdf erlang 24.2.2 installation failure
So I am trying to install Erlang 24.2.2 and 24.3.2 but the build keeps failing, this is my first time using a Mac so I have minimal knowledge on what might be going on. Any and all help and advice is very welcome.
I get this response every time I try to install either
asdf install erlang 24.3.2

You need a Java compiler.
What’s your OS?

Are there any you would recommend?

Not a Mac user here, but did you follow the instrauctions in GitHub - asdf-vm/asdf-erlang: Erlang plugin for asdf version manager · GitHub
You may have to set certain variables.
In those instructions it also explains how to install the dependencies if needed, for MacOs

The contents of the
otp_build_24.3.2.logreferenced in the last line of that message would make this a lot easier to troubleshoot.Also, are you using an Intel Mac or an M1 Mac?

If you don’t need the jinterface. You can exclude it from compilation by adding
export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--disable-debug --without-javac"to your.zshrc.Tested with asdf and Erlang 24.3.3 on macOS 12.3.1.

What is the .zshrc?
Here is the top build log or at least as much as I can fit in here

That message matches this bug report:

Where in .zshrc would I put that?

Doesn’t this just indicate that the problem should be fixed? I have widget fully updated

It didn’t work to add it to
