I want to use the observer program for my elixir apps.
Off late I am shown this warning when I try to install erlang using asdf
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION (See: /Users/keshav/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds/asdf_25.3.2.7/otp_build_25.3.2.7.log)
* wx : Can not link wx program are all developer packages installed?
Erlang/OTP 25.3.2.7 (asdf_25.3.2.7) has been successfully built
Cleaning up compilation products for 25.3.2.7
Cleaned up compilation products for 25.3.2.7 under /Users/keshav/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds
And on trying to run observer, I get the error
10:46:25.196 [error] ERROR: Could not find 'wxe_driver.so' in: /Users/keshav/.asdf/installs/erlang/25.3.2.7/lib/wx-2.2.2/priv

Here is the part of logs that I think are wx related

Checkout the comments in this issue https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-erlang/issues/203#issuecomment-846602541 specifically this comment, perhaps they might offer some help. Maybe you need to set this before runnig
asdf install erlang ...You can get the path to the
wx-configexecutable by runningwhich wx-configkesc
In any case, from reading the logs I don’t think the error has to do with the install script not being able to find the wx-config. It has something to do with linking or shared libraries but I don’t have the knowledge to solve that. ie I just tried with the flags
--enable-wxand--with-wx-config.I have tried reinstalling wxwidgets (
brew reinstall wxwidgets) but I still get the same error.jmnda
That’s strange. I am a Linux user though, hopefully Mac users here can suggest solutions to your problem.

This problem has been fixed in OTP 26.1.1. We plan to include a backport of the fix in the next emergency patch for OTP 25.

Oh so it is xcode related? I thought this was because of the new Macos and rolled back without any success. Thanks for this effort @bjorng
