If you have any problem installing asdf-erlang maybe here you can find a solution.

Could not find wxe_driver.so

If you have this problem, which usually happen when you try to start the observer with :observer.start() (elixir) or observer:start(). (erlang), probably is because there is a library missing when you installed erlang using asdf. But the library must be installed BEFORE installing erlang with asdf. Installing the library after erlang it not going to work. So you can follow this steps:

  1. Remove your current asdf erlang installation: Example: asdf uninstall erlang 20.1
  2. Make sure all dependencies and Libraries Requiered for ASDF are installed acording to your OS. You may have to deal with some issues getting WX installed and configured properly, but if done correct you should solve the problem.(thanks to Stratus3D)
  3. Reinstall erlang using asdf. Example: asdf install erlang 20.1
