Erlang is available through the external repository (EPEL).
Unfortunately due to the some shortcomings in the default Amazon's
repositories this won't work either (unless you enable generic RHEL
/CentOS /SL repositories manually).

Either

a) Enable RHEL / CentOS / SL repositories and EPEL and repeat again
b) Rebuild RabbitMQ from sources as well as Erlang/OTP.
