I'm trying to build ejabberd_2.1.2-3, but run into an error. Here's my process thus far, with "interesting" outputs along the way (that determine required dependencies, etc). The blocker is at the end.

Is there a compile flag that allows us to disable GTK?
ejabberd itself doesn't need
ejabberd itself doesn't need erlang's GTK features, or erlang's documentation files. However, ejabberd needs erlang's stdlib library.
The error seems to indicate a problem compiling erlang, not ejabberd. So, you can install erlang from binary packages (you need at least to install erlang-nox and erlang-dev), and only compile ejabberd.
