:observer.start throws an error

Question

I'm trying to launch observer from iex, but I'm not sure why it isn't working. Some days ago, it worked without problems. I regularly update my Ubuntu with aptitude, so there could be the problem. Here is the error received from iex:

Erlang/OTP 20 [RELEASE CANDIDATE 2] [erts-9.0] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Interactive Elixir (1.4.4) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
iex(1)> :observer.start

   {:proc_lib, :init_p_do_apply, 3, [file: 'proc_lib.erl', line: 247]}]}}

Any help?

Update:

There are weird things. I removed Elixir packages with aptitude. Then I have installed esl-erlang from erlang solutions repo (I think). The installed version is a RC version !!! Why? With that package some dependencies has been installed, like libwxbase-3.0. Afther that I have installed Elixir without dependencies. But observer is still not working.

There is an erlang-observer package, but it cannot be installed with esl-erlang.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Finally, I can find out a solution. I don't know why, but Erlang Solutions repo it's downloading 1.20-rc version of Erlang. I have downgraded to 1.6.3 ( 1.6.3.6 is not working either) and :observer is working again.
