There’s no ElixirForum announcement forum post to comment on yet but I’ve just installed Erlang 24.0.1 without having to downgrade autoconf or specify any env vars on the command line!

It was just a matter of a simple asdf install erlang 24.0.1

EDIT: Oh, there was a forum post after all, missed it by an hour or so.

You missed it Dimi… moved your post to it

I just tried asdf install erlang 24.0.1 and am still getting the same error as before:

ERROR: /Users/Macbook/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds/asdf_24.0.1/otp_src_24.0.1/lib/crypto/configure failed!

(This is on macOS Mojave)

With autoconf@2.29 I the kerl build works flawlessly on my Mac:

I followed that advise to get autoconf@2.69:

I was also able to get this installed after installing properly installing wxWidgets 3.1.5 from the source. Please see my post here.
