#44060: Erlang @ 17.0_1: epmd binary missing from the PATH environment -------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: conradwt@… | Owner: ciserlohn@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.0 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: erlang | -------------------------+------------------------- Changes (by ciserlohn@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: Looking at the svn history it seems that epmd hasn't been in PATH since r30481 (Erlang R11B; 2007). Epmd starts up automatically just fine: {{{ $ erl -name abc@localhost -noshell & [1] 74550 $ ps ax | grep erl 74556 ?? S 0:00.00 /opt/local/lib/erlang/erts-6.0/bin/epmd -daemon 74550 s004 T 0:00.13 /opt/local/lib/erlang/erts-6.0/bin/beam.smp -- -root /opt/local/lib/erlang -progname erl -- -home /Users/ci -- -name abc@localhost -noshell }}} Did you forgot the {{{-name}}} option? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44060#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
