I can find the file

 $:find / -name 'xmerl.app'
/usr/lib/erlang/lib/xmerl-1.2.10/ebin/xmerl.app

where you need to specify it to start the program?

Answer 1

I downloaded the rpm package for CentOS and set it using zypper, then start up rabbitMQ

Answer 2

1. Can you start xmerl without rabbitmq? Just:

   application:start(xmerl).

2. Try:

   code:add_path("/usr/lib/erlang/lib/xmerl-1.2.10/ebin/").

And than:

./rabbitmq-server
