I use Riak on my arch desktop at home, and the 2.0releases compile from source and run without issue on the erlang 16. So that is an option as well.

I use kerl (previously linked by Tom) on Arch w/o issue -- sourcing the activate file in my shell init scripts. Using pacman isn't an option because, as Tom mentioned, multiple versions of Erlang aren't handled by it well.

    Hi Yves,

    This is less of a distro issue and more of a managing multiple
    versions of Erlang issue. I would encourage you to check out
    either kerl[0] or erln8[1]. kerl is more mature and well known,
    but erln8 (written by Basho's Dave Parfitt) is pretty neat as it
    allows you to set a specific version of Erlang to specific paths.

    Hope this helps.

        Hello,

        I recently found out about Riak and wanted to give it a try on
        my laptop.  I have Arch Linux running it and I like the OS
        enough so that I don't want to install something else in its
        place.

        The problem that I ran into is that I have R16B03 installed
        (and it works very well.)  I need -- correct me if I'm wrong
        -- R15B01.  However, I'm not sure how to do the install of
        R15B01 without over-riding the /usr/bin/erl symlink.

        Now, I'm thinking.  How did others tackle this on the same
        type of distro?  What would you recommend?

        --Yves
