Bus error on Erlang with Leopard 10.5.3

Posted on Thursday 29 May 2008

I’ve just updated my OS X to the latest 10.5.3, and now Erlang refuses to run - I keep getting bus error. I uninstalled and attempted to build it from source using Macports, but that did not help - I get the same error when building hipe:


=== Entering application hipe
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_erlang/work/erlang-R12B-2/bin/i386-apple-darwin9.3.0/hipe_mkliterals -e > hipe_literals.hrl

erlc -W +debug_info +warn_obsolete_guard +inline -o../ebin hipe_rtl_arch.erl
make[3]: *** [../ebin/hipe_rtl_arch.beam] Bus error
make[2]: *** [opt] Error 2
make[1]: *** [opt] Error 2
make: *** [secondary_bootstrap_build] Error 2

Still haven’t found a fix, but thought about sending this out as Googlebait just in case.

Update: there is now a bug report at Macports.
