So, I built Riak and Erlang today.
Can't say I successfully got past the Riak README and sample set up. I'm certain my issue has to do with the host that erlang is trying to ping. It _should_ be my local host, but it's using my user name @ my isp. JUNK.
So, when I ping Riak, I just got a 'pang' instead of a 'pong'. Needless to say, I'm motivated to get past the README and just maybe try something useful.
Follow @seancribbs on twitter for Riak propaganda. :P
