If you have the server in the above dir, as per the installation
instructions, then the client code should find the server libraries
without needing to modify the load path.

In order to diagnose this further, please send me

1) a directory listing of %ERLANG_HOME%\erl5.7.1\lib

2) a deep directory listing for all rabbitmq* directories in the above.

3) the location of the erlang client directory, and a deep directory
listing thereof

4) the exact command line used for invoking the erlang client, including
the dir it is run from

5) the output of [P || P <- code:get_path(), string:str(P, "rabbit") =/=
0]. when run inside the Erlang client's shell.

6) the output of  [code:which(M) || M <- [lib_amqp,
rabbit_framing_channel, rabbit]]. when run inside the Erlang client's shell.

7) the sequence of erlang function calls used in the test

Are you still getting {undef, [{rabbit_framing_channel,start_link,...}]}
error in the client? If so then the above is likely a consequence of that.

Some knowledge of Erlang when using the Erlang client is highly
recommended ;)
