RabbitMQ install issue on Centos 5.5

Question

I\'ve been trying to get rabbitmq-server-2.4.0 up and running on Centos 5.5 on an Amazon AWS instance.

My instance uses the following kernel: 2.6.18-xenU-ec2-v1.2

Answer 1

If erlang is installed from source, rpm install of rabbitmq fails to recognize erlang stating that erlang R12B-3 is required.
Use:
rpm --nodeps -Uvh rabbitmq-server-2.6.1-1.noarch.rpm

I was able to install and use RabbitMQ 2.6.1 successfully on CentOS 5.6 with Erlang R14B04
