I tried to install libssl-dev and libncurses5-dev but get an error.

Elixir1.10 could be installed with asdf. But Erlang doesn’t work.

I use Linux Mint 18.1 “Serena” MATE.

I install the versions:

elixir         1.10.0  
erlang         22.1.8

Here a complete install with Linux in portuguese with the @akitaonrails but it’s posible to understand just watching or you can put translation of the subtitle:

and you can begin in the time 41:06 for install the libraries and after this begins the instalation with the asdf.
If you are a Mac OS user you can install the libraries with Homebrew as well.

You don’t have the libraries neccesary to build erlang on Ubuntu look here GitHub - asdf-vm/asdf-erlang: Erlang plugin for asdf version manager · GitHub

I gave up on installing Erlang via asdf on Mac. It’s for some time that I use this setting: Installed Erlang using brew and the precompiled version Elixir using asdf (for which, the version looks like 1.10.0-otp-22).

Do not use brew, I wrote a guide to install asdf on Mac, I can searched for it if you needed it.

Here is my guide use git asdf Mac guide

Thank you very much. I was able to update to the latest version.

The software index was corrupted. I managed to fix it using aptitude.

The information from everyone was very helpful. Thank you very much.

I faced the same issue while installing 26.2.1 using asdf on MacOS Ventura v13.6.1.

asdf_26.2.1 is not a kerl-managed Erlang/OTP installation

Somehow, the compiler failed to find ncurses. Even after updating development toolchain.

Solved by explicitly setting pkg-config path and then installing

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/ncurses/lib/pkgconfig"
$ asdf install erlang 26.2.1

Not a direct answer but you may want to try https://mise.jdx.dev which is basically a drop-in replacement for asdf (written in Rust).
