rpm only recognises things being installed if they were installed via
rpm - otherwise they're just a bunch of files on the disk as far as it's
concerned.
Ideally you would install Erlang from rpms too; see the instructions
under "RPM-based Linux" at http://www.rabbitmq.com/server.html. But
having seen your post on the AWS forums I don't think that works due to
the standard Amazon Linux not having various UI libraries and the Erlang
package being compiled to depend on them.
So I think you have a few options:
* Install RabbitMQ from the generic Unix tarball rather than RPM.
Downsides: you'll need to fiddle around to get it running as a service;
nothing will be done for you.
* Keep tracking down rpms until all dependencies are satisfied.
Downsides: sounds like a pain.
* Tell rpm to install RabbitMQ anyway (with I think --nodeps or similar)
Downsides: you're telling rpm to ignore the dependency information it
has. Inelegant, to say the least.
* Start again with an AMI of CentOS or (better still IMNSHO) Debian /
Ubuntu.
Downsides: you have to start again.
If it were me I'd do the last one.
Cheers, Simon
