Install older OTP versions when you have OpenSSL version >= 3.0

install.md

There is an issue with openssl < 3.0 and most versions of Erlang

To fix, install openssl into some directory

cd /usr/local/src
sudo mkdir openssl
sudo chown username:staff openssl
cd openssl
git clone git://git.openssl.org/openssl.git
cd openssl
# This checks out the newest old verison
git checkout OpenSSL_1_1_1t
./Configure linux-generic64 --prefix=/usr/local/openssl
make -j$(nproc)

Then try to install erlang again

export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--disable-debug --disable-silent-rules --without-javac --enable-shared-zlib --enable-dynamic-ssl-lib --enable-hipe --enable-sctp --enable-smp-support --enable-threads --enable-kernel-poll --enable-wx --with-ssl=/usr/local/openssl"

asdf install erlang
