error while building apache thrift

Question

I tried to build (make) apache trift on my linux machine and I am faced with the following error during build process:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/developer/tools/apache-thrift/thrift-0.9.0/lib/erl'
./rebar get-deps

The answer is just the same as my comment.

If you don't need erlang to work with thrift, simply turn it off while compiling thrift:

./configure --with-erlang=no

Probably you've got something messed up with erlang libs on your local machine and that's why you get the problem.
