Is it possible to install Erlang R16 on OSX 10.9 via homebrew?

I have a clean OSX 10.9 box and I have tried to install R16 erlang via homebrew:

brew install erlang

Unfortunately, that installs R17. So I tried to install it via "versions" recipes:

brew tap homebrew/versions
brew update
brew doctor
brew install erlang-r16

Surprisingly, this fails with error:

Error: No available formula for erlang-r16

Is it any way to install Erlang R16 right now via homebrew or I need to wait a few months before recipes/repository/whatever is correctly updated and synchronized?

I'd advise you to download source of any release you like/need the most.

I installed Erlang/OTP r17(otp_src_17.0) from sources on OSX 10.9.3.

Everything works ok. Even GUI observer.

However you might need to install graphical libraries needed by observer. If I did so, I used sources as well.

Good luck!
