Cannot start sample erlang release generated with rebar

Question

I\'m a beginner with rebar and erlang generally. I was trying to create an erlang release with rebar according to this tutorial: http://www.metabrew.com/article/erlang-rebar-tut

Answer 1

Lately I found this post: http://mokele.co.uk/2011/07/01/rebar-release-upgrade-caveats.html

It uncovers a list of errors in rebar, one of them being the reason why my release couldn't launch. There are also fixes published. I hope they will be merged into main rebar repository ASAP.
