Bob, I'm not using 64 bit so I use just lib instead of lib64. I gather
from your post that the startup error is likely an erlang problem? I
didn't see anything logged at all. Getting back to trying to install
erlang from source, I was missing ncurses (see previous post of mine).
I can't get ncurses to install though:

bradk@bradkm90:/usr/local$ sudo apt-get install ncurses
Password:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package ncurses is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package ncurses has no installation candidate

I'm starting to think I need to give up on ubuntu and start over on a
red hat vm.
