Description Pupeno 2006-11-15 04:59:03 UTC 
The program erl_call is very useful and it is often used in scripts (to communicate with running erlang nodes). It is currently located on /usr/lib/erlang/lib/erl_interface-3.5.5.1/bin/erl_call and I think it should be symlinked from /usr/bin/.

Other similar tools include run_erl:

 /usr/bin/run_erl
 /usr/lib/erlang/bin/run_erl
 /usr/lib/erlang/erts-5.5.1/bin/run_erl
 /usr/share/doc/erlang-11.2.1/html/erts-5.5.1/doc/html/run_erl.html
 /usr/share/man/man1/run_erl.1erl.gz

I don't think erl_call is likely to conflict with any other program, so I don't see any strong reason against making the symlink.

Thanks.

Would be nice if you actually posted the ebuild name so that I could assign the bug.
Comment 2 Pupeno 2006-11-15 06:53:21 UTC 
Oh! Sorry for missing it, the ebuild is dev-lang/erlang.
Thank you.

Reopen.
Comment 4 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-17 04:11:06 UTC 
Fixed in 11.2.1 ebuild, thanks for reporting, start of December will see a new erlang version stable (hopefully, see dependency).
Comment 5 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-01 17:25:59 UTC 
Stable on all relevant arches
