You can look at the new ejabberd installer for Linux-x86. It includes the minimum part of Erlang/OTP required to run ejabberd. It's less than 5 MB of download. There you will find the required OTP libraries.

why can't i read ;)

OK my last comment was not very clever ;) Yet still I've got to ask one question: are there any dependencies between the libreries in the erlang/lib directory? So when I can be sure that when I remove those once which I don't find mentioned in the ejabberd sources others will still work fine.

nice shot

Greetings badlop.

Thanks a lot :) That is good yet still it is "only" about 1/3 of all 80MB. Does ejabberd really need the other 48MB?

try disabling megaco

Open Source Erlang includes Erlang + OTP (a lot of libraries). Almost all the space (96.6%) is on OTP. You can try to disable all the libraries not required by ejabberd, but since most of them are less than two megs, maybe you prefer to just remove the biggest ones:

megaco: 27%, 18.8 MB
hipe: 6.2%, 4.3 MB
snmp: 4.8%, 3.3 MB

How did i see if a library is required or not:

find ejabberd/src/ | xargs grep "megaco"

How to disable a library:

If it's possible: ./configure --disable-megaco
If not, remove the reference to that lib on lib/Makefile
