I wanted to uninstall erlang-history on OS X because of this issue.
This is what I did, essentially reversing the install instructions.
Note that file paths may vary with OS, installation method, versions etc.
- Open
/usr/local/Cellar/erlang/18.3/lib/erlang/lib/kernel-4.2/ebin/kernel.app
in an editor and removegroup_history
from the modules list. - Recompile
group.erl
like so:cd /usr/local/Cellar/erlang/18.3/lib/erlang/lib/kernel-4.2/src; erlc group.erl
- Move the compiled
group.beam
fromsrc
toebin
:cd ..; mv src/group.beam ebin/
- Remove
group_history.beam
just to be tidy:rm ebin/grop_history.beam
