Cleaning up compilation products for 26.0.2
Cleaned up compilation products for 26.0.2 under /home/dev/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds

At the end, my Erlang is successful installed, but not smoothly, I think Debian 12 still not have many lib to support

Try installing with this env variable:

export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=“–disable-debug --without-javac”

After searching for Debian 12, finally it’s works…

Additional library Debian -- Package Search Results -- libwxgtk-webview

Add 2 library such as :

apt install libwxgtk-webview3.2-1 libwxgtk-webview3.2-dev

The library libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libwxgtk-webview3.0-gtk3-dev is not working anymore in Debian 12, so don’t include it.

The complete prerequisites for asdf before installing Erlang in Debian 12 is

apt-get -y install build-essential autoconf m4 libncurses5-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libpng-dev libssh-dev unixodbc-dev xsltproc fop libxml2-utils libncurses-dev default-jdk libwxgtk-webview3.2-1 libwxgtk-webview3.2-dev
