I tried starting couchdb:
asedsami@localhost ~> sudo systemctl start couchdb.service
Job for couchdb.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status couchdb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
which failed to start.
asedsami@localhost ~> couchdb -h
cat: /usr/bin/../releases/start_erl.data: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/couchdb: line 47: /usr/bin/../erts-/bin/erlexec: No such file or directory
I then tried to get the full log:
asedsami@localhost ~> sudo journalctl -u couchdb.service

so there's a problem with scheduler_bind_type being deprecated in Erlang/OTP 18 which I don't know how to fix and I appreciate any help you are able to provide.
