Description of problem: Please compile erlang with the --enable-sctp configure flag. The SCTP protocol is heavily used in IP based telecom networks, and is a good fit with erlang. Building erlang with sctp support will also require the lksctp-tools-devel package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): erlang-R15B-03.2.fc18.x86_64
erlang-R15B-03.3.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/erlang-R15B-03.3.fc17
erlang-R15B-03.3.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/erlang-R15B-03.3.fc18

Package erlang-R15B-03.3.fc18: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 18 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing erlang-R15B-03.3.fc18' as soon as you are able to.

erlang-R15B-03.3.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
erlang-R15B-03.3.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
It still requires manual installation of lksctp-tools: $ sudo yum install lksctp-tools This will be fixed in the next upgrade.
erlang-R14B-04.2.el6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
RPM of erlang-R14B-04.2.el6 on EPEL 6 requires libz.so.1(ZLIB_1.2.2) which is an old version of zlib, no more available in EPEL 6 or EPEL 5. Impossible to install Erlang on our systems which has zlib 1.2.3 installed.

I can't help with issues with the packages outside RHEL/EPEL.

Impossible > to install Erlang on our systems which has zlib 1.2.3 installed. I've just checked - zlib does provides "ZLIB_1.2.2" symbol, so it seems that you have some other issue. Probably my first guess was correct, and you installed zlib from some other repository.
Indeed, the problem was with our installation. We were using a proxy for the CentOS yum repository, which was not updated with Centos 6.4. Thank you very much for your quick answer!
Hey guys, I am certain that this is absolutely the wrong forum for this question, but I've run into the same problem with zlib on RHEL6 and haven't found any references to the subject elsewhere. I see that 1.2.3 is installed but unrecognized during install (it wants 1.2.2) Unfortunately I am very new to Linux so I'm not sure how to go about resolving this issue. Laurent, if you could possibly share the repo URL that you had luck with, I'd appreciate it, or if either of you could provide some instructions on getting the erlang yum install to recognize the 1.2.3 version of libz.so.1, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks.
Sam, The repository we used is the standard Centos repository, but version 6.4 and not 6.3.
I have run into the same problem with the latest update and zlib. I am running RHEL 6.2, and the erlang-erts package requires zlib 1.2.2, which is not available on the RHEL repositories for 6.2. zlib 1.2.3 is installed.
Ah, I see. I am also on 6.2 and that seems to be the issue. How essential is libz.so.1 to Erlang? Yum provides an option to install with missing dependencies. I'm planning to use Erlang with CouchDB but don't have any specific needs around compression. If anybody has any advice on the best way to get around this issue, I'd be very appreciative. I'm currently unable to install.
Sam & Laurent, I had a similar issue with Oracle 6u3. When I tried to install erlang yum failed complaining about missing zlib 1.2.2. I had this version of zlib installed: $ rpm -q zlib zlib-1.2.3-27.el6.x86_64 Which doesn't provide zlib 1.2.2 $ sudo rpm -q --provides zlib libz.so.1()(64bit) zlib = 1.2.3-27.el6 zlib(x86-64) = 1.2.3-27.el6 I add this to my /etc/yum.conf: [ol6_latest] name=Oracle Linux $releasever Latest ($basearch) baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/$basearch/ gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6 gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 And then I was able to upgrade to a new release of zlib 1.2.3 which did provide 1.2.2: $ sudo rpm -q zlib zlib-1.2.3-29.el6.x86_64 $ sudo rpm -q --provides zlib libz.so.1()(64bit) libz.so.1(ZLIB_1.2.0)(64bit) libz.so.1(ZLIB_1.2.0.2)(64bit) libz.so.1(ZLIB_1.2.0.8)(64bit) libz.so.1(ZLIB_1.2.2)(64bit) libz.so.1(ZLIB_1.2.2.3)(64bit) libz.so.1(ZLIB_1.2.2.4)(64bit) zlib = 1.2.3-29.el6 zlib(x86-64) = 1.2.3-29.el6 And that resolved the issue.
To clarify my latest comment: I'm on a RHEL 6.3 varient. I resolved the issue by installing zlib from the 6.4 repo.
