[rabbitmq-discuss] Can't run rabbitmq-server... Install issue?

[Alex Wayne]

Om my.  Well that is embarrasing...
In my defense the installation instruction don't mention rabbit actually has
to be compiled at all:
http://www.rabbitmq.com/install.html#install-generic-unix
It says:

1. Install erlang
2. unpack rabbitmq tarball and place with other erlang libs
3. Customize script/rabbitmq-server environment variables

Not actually knowing erlang at all I had no idea this was a even a compiled
language at all.  It seems that a step 2.5 "run a make command in the
rabbitmq-server_version directory", would have saved me a headache.

Anyway, thanks very much for the head slapper there.  I probably should have
known.
