[rabbitmq-discuss] Erlang RabbitMQ Client hanshake problem on "State = Driver:handshake(InitialState), "

[Lynton Grice]

Hi Matthias,

I guess I *assumed* the Erlang client version would be relatively in-sync
with the server version, that is why I always downloaded the latest ones for
both.

Thanks for all your help on this, it was a pure version issue like you
stated .....it is working now ;-)

Thanks for all your help on this, I really appreciate it ;-)

Lynton

Do *not* use the "latest" version. That's the point I've been trying
(and obviously failing) to make. If you are running a 1.5.5 server you
must use a revision tagged with a 1.5.x tag, or from the v1_5 branch.

If you have mercurial installed, just
  hg clone http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-erlang-client
then cd into the rabbitmq-erlang-client directory and list the available
tags with
  hg tags
pick one that fits the bill, rabbitmq_v1_5_5 in this case, and run
  hg update rabbitmq_v1_5_5

See http://www.rabbitmq.com/mercurial.html for an explanation.

Or, alternatively, if you haven't got mercurial installed, look at the
tags visible in the hg web interface, pick a suitable one, and construct
a URL of the form

http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-erlang-client/archive/<tag>.{zip,tar.gz}
e.g.
http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-erlang-client/archive/rabbitmq_v1_5_5.zip

> BTW: How do I tell what version of the client I am running?

Since the Erlang client does not have official releases, the only way to
tell what version you are running is by looking at the revision
information supplied by hg.

Matthias.
