[rabbitmq-discuss] problem starting rabbitmq

[interglossa]

I have downloaded rabbitmq--server-generic-unix-2.5.1.tar (generic
linux tar) and am trying to run it on RHL 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.  I have
built erlang 5.8.4 (R14B03) and when I run the server I get the
message

Activating RabbitMQ plugins ...
ERROR: generation of boot script file /export/xxx/
rabbitmq_server-2.5.1/mnesia/rabbit at hostname-plugins-expand/
rabbit.script failed:
{'EXIT',{{badmatch,{erl_prim_loader,error}},
         [{xref_utils,find_beam,1},
          {xref_base,'-make_libs/5-fun-0-',2},
          {lists,foldl,3},
          {xref_base,make_libs,5},
          {xref_base,do_set_up,1},
          {xref_base,do_set_up,2},
          {xref_base,q,3},
          {xref,handle_call,3}]}}

Does this look as though I am using the wrong version of erlang for
this rabbitmq release?
