I’m getting this same error trying to install erlang-r16 on my new MacBook Air (OS X 10.8.4 build 12E3067). Were you able to get this working on your machine?

I have the same issue (exact same build with new macbook)

I was able to work around this error by using gcc to compile. Here's what I did:

brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install apple-gcc42
brew install -v --use-gcc erlang-r16
