Issues installing Elixir 1.6.5 on Fedora 28

Hi All,

I am trying to install Elixir 1.6.5 on Fedora 28 using the following:

git clone https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir.git
cd elixir
make clean test

It never finishes compiling:

==> elixir (compile)
Compiling lib/base.ex (it’s taking more than 15s)
Compiling lib/calendar/iso.ex (it’s taking more than 15s)
Compiling lib/code/formatter.ex (it’s taking more than 15s)

Compiling lib/gen_event.ex (it’s taking more than 15s)
Compiling lib/hash_dict.ex (it’s taking more than 15s)
Compiling lib/hash_set.ex (it’s taking more than 15s)
make[1]: Entering directory ‘/path/elixir’

make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/path/elixir’
make: *** [Makefile:77: lib/elixir/ebin/Elixir.Kernel.beam] Error 2

Erlang is installed:

[hostname]$ erl
Erlang/OTP 20 [erts-9.3] [source] [64-bit] [smp:1:1] [ds:1:1:10] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V9.3 (abort with ^G)

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
