OSX Install instructions

[tmcgilchrist]

I'm having issues setting distel up on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).
The instructions mention using NetInfo Manager.app which no longer exists in modern OS X.

Running C-c C-d n gives

EXIT: <0.4.0> [emacs-error "(file-error \"make client process failed\" \"connection refused\" :name \"netfsm\" :buffer #<killed buffer> :host \"phobos.local\" :service 4369 :nowait nil)"] 

Is anyone using distel on a recent Mac and how did you set it up to work?

I use distel on Yosemite.
I start the erlang node with "localhost" as host name, like

erl -sname foo@localhost

and the same on the emacs side.
I've never noticed the NetInfo Manager.app thing. That was just for network-less setup, right?

@tmcgilchrist I have the same error.

Start erlang node.

erl -sname foo@localhost

or

erl -name foo@127.0.0.1

Then you will see dialogue window, approve beam.smp & empd accept incoming requests. Or open firewall settings (system preferences) and approve directly.

After that try again, in my case it helps.
