can't compile a module on XP

I'm trying to compile mod_http_bind without changing the code only to learn how to compile under win XP.

The steps I did:

- install erl5.6
- copy ejabberd_http.hrl, jlib.hrl, ejabberd.hrl, gen_mod.beam, mod_http_bind.erl to C:\Program Files\erl5.6.
- run erlang and type: "c(mod_http_bind)." and get "{ok,mod_http_bind}"
- replace the new mod_http_bind.beam file with the existing file on ejabberd-2.0.0\lib\ejabberd-2.0.0\ebin

run ejabberd and on ejabberd.log I get:

=ERROR REPORT==== 2008-04-28 00:28:29 ===
beam/beam_load.c(1602): Error loading function mod_http_bind:process/2: op allocate u u:

=ERROR REPORT==== 2008-04-28 00:28:29 ===

{gen_mod,start_module,3},
{lists,foreach,2},
{ejabberd_app,start,2},
{application_master,start_it_old,4}]}

Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong?

should compile it with the

should compile it with the erlang that was installed with ejabberd and not with version erl5.6

Right: you must compile the

Right: you must compile the files with an Erlang/OTP version similar to the one used for running ejabberd.

For instance, the ejabberd 2.0.0 binary installers include Erlang/OTP R11B-5.
