Hi, i am trying to execute chat clietn and geting the folowing error.
iam running it on linux.i did not find lib_md5.erl inth ecode i downloaded.

what i ned to make it run? here is te eror

make chat_client
mkdir -p /home/wasiq/.erlang_config/
cp conf /home/wasiq/.erlang_config/lib_chan.conf
make clean - clean up
erl -pa ../ -s chat_client test
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6 source async-threads:0 [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.6 (abort with ^G)
1> chat_client disconnected unexpected:{‘EXIT’,<0>,normal}

=ERROR REPORT==== 28-Jan-2008::21:40:05 ===
Error in process <0> with exit value: {undef,[{lib_md5,string,[“pzbaplovtpmhazjuvcpdyqishAsDT67aQ”]},{lib_chan,authenticate,4},{lib_chan,connect,5},{chat_client,try_to_connect,4}]}

chat_client disconnected unexpected:{‘EXIT’,<0>, {undef, [{lib_md5,string,

I experienced this problem too. To solve it, go to the root of the book code and execute “make” from there. If you just “make” the socket_dist directory modules without compiling the root modules, you’ll get this error. That fixed the problem for me.

Thank you Barry. Your solution makes more sense. I was unfamiliar with using Make with Erlang when I originally posted. Now I use it all the time :)
