Common Problems

1. Make errors:
   If you get an error that looks like this, try running `make boot`
   

   
     (cd ebin; erl -pa ebin -noshell -run make_boot write_scripts alice)
     {"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{make_boot,write_scripts,[["alice"]]},{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}}
     {"init terminating in do_boot",{'cannot get bootfile','alice.boot'}}
     Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
     init terminating in do_boot ()
   

If you get one that looks like this, make sure you have erlang-dev package installed:

  ./mochiweb_request.erl:9: can't find include lib "kernel/include/file.hrl"
