What was the unexpected behavior? What was the expected result?

ejabberd 16.06 and older didn't compile correctly with Erlang R19. Some fixes were committed past week to ejabberd git. Does your crash still happen using ejabberd from git?

[bobnino]

ya i concluded that after some research, however i did use git to get and compile ejab 16.06 and erl19 it doesnt work, so i reinstalled erl17.03 instead and now it compiled fine.

[cromain]

i think we can close this as we new support erlang 19.

[marcphilipp]

This still happens with 16.09. Please re-open this issue.

[bobnino]

Yes as you read above 16.09 don't work so you need to upgrade your erlang Marc.

[marcphilipp]

I tried to compile ejabberd 16.09 with Erlang/OTP 19.0.3 and ran into the exact same error message. However, according to @cromain's comment this should work, shouldn't it?

[bobnino]

Yes your right but what I'm saying is you can just downgrade to erlang 17.03 or wait and see what croman suggests

[badlop]

I installed Debian unstable, which has Erlang/OTP 19.1, and ejabberd from git. It compiles and runs correctly:

$ /sbin/ejabberdctl live
--------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT: ejabberd is going to start in LIVE (interactive) mode.
All log messages will be shown in the command shell.
You can interact with the ejabberd node if you know how to use it.
Please be extremely cautious with your actions,
and exit immediately if you are not completely sure.

To exit this LIVE mode and stop ejabberd, press:
  q().  and press the Enter key

--------------------------------------------------------------------
To bypass permanently this warning, add to ejabberdctl.cfg the line:
  EJABBERD_BYPASS_WARNINGS=true
Press return to continue

I've had no problems building the new ejabberd 16.09 Debian package with Erlang 19 either.

[bobnino]

We are referring to none Debian builds.

[marcphilipp]

I used the official Docker image for Erlang which is also Debian (jessie) based in version 19.0.3 and it didn't work. However, I can confirm that it works with 19.1 which I've tries on CentOS. Consider this solved from my side. Thanks for checking!
