Oh. The problem here is that your OTP version R13B03 is quite old and gproc now assumes a later version of Erlang. specifically, I think the problem is around the options {read_concurrency, true}, {write_concurrency, true} though I may be mistaken.

The quick fix is to upgrade your Erlang version. I think also this would be a good time to decide upon exactly what old versions we support. I am somewhat of the opinion that R14B01 should be the oldest right now, though I might be mistaken.

Thank you, generating release version for R14B4 fixes this error.
