asdf install elixir 1.11.3-otp-23

This does not happen on 1.11.3 and 1.11.3-otp-22:

This works for me, can you elaborate on your setup or try to reinstall to see if it still happens?

Reinstall did not work unfortunately.

Same issue also seems to happen with this:

> elixir -v

init terminating in do_boot ({undef,[{elixir,start_cli,[],[]},{init,start_em,1,[]},{init,do_boot,3,[]}]})

Aha, from the dump file, it looks like it's using OTP 22

System version: Erlang/OTP 22 [erts-10.7.2.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:1] [hipe]

AHA! I have erlang installed separately, of version 22 of course. Solution was to install the version of erlang (23)

Thanks for the quick reply by the way!

I had a similar error after installing erlang and elixir through asdf, but my .bashrc still contained the line:
. /srv/kerl/23.0.2/activate
Commenting that out solved the issue. So it's basically a very unhelpful error about conflicting erlang versions.
